St. John's went 0-4 at the Tiger Invitational two weeks ago, falling twice to both Auburn and UMass Lowell. In Saturday's game against UMass Lowell, the Red Storm found itself up by two after five innings. The River Hawks had a four-run spark in the sixth inning before adding another run in the seventh to take the game. Despite the loss, Natalie Alheidt went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored while Carolina Zamudio tallied six strikeouts across five innings. Freshmen Anese Thompson and London Jarrard drove in runs. Jarrard was the lone freshman across four teams to be- tabbed to the All-Tournament team. She recorded three hits, one run and five put-outs during the weekend.
Fairfield enters the tournament with a 1-4 overall record. The Stags' lone win came from an 11-6 decision against Mount Saint Mary's.
Last season, the Stags went 22-14 and fell to Manhattan and Siena in the second round of the MAAC Tournament. Three members of the 2021 squad were tabbed to the All- MAAC Second Team and three freshmen found spots on the league's All-Rookie Team. Junior Megan Forbes was named to the NFCA All-Region Second Team.
The Johnnies and the Stags have met 26 times before with the Red Storm holding a 14-12 series lead.
This season, Saint Joseph's is 2-7 with its wins coming against BIG EAST foe Seton Hall and UMBC by a combined 17 runs.
The Hawks went 26-20 and finished first in the A-10 Softball North Division after going 19-3 in conference play. Two members of the squad were tabbed to the NFCA All-Region Second Team while two were named to the All-Region Third Team.
Against the Hawks, the Red Storm is 1-1-1. The two teams will meet for the first time since 2013 when weather issues forced an 8-8 tie.
USF is 6-2 this season with both of their losses coming to ranked opponents in No.25/RV Auburn and No. 5/6 Florida. USF is led by two-time AAC Pitcher of the Week Georgina Corrick. Corrick is 5-0 on the season with a 0.21 ERA and one shutout.
The Bulls are coming off a 2021 season that saw them go 31- 19 before eventually falling in the Gainesville Regional Final.
A former BIG EAST foe, USF leads the all-time series with St. John's, 21-1. The Johnnies' lone win came on April 18, 2009, as Kat Lawrence pitched a complete-gate and three-hitter in a 2-0 win over the bulls.
The Red Storm will open play against Fairfield at 9 a.m. on Friday before taking on Saint Joseph's at 11:30 a.m. Saturday will start with a rematch against Saint Joe's at 11:30 a.m. followed by a game against No. 25/25 USF at 4:30 p.m. The Johnnies will conclude play on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. with another contest against the host Bulls.
