VICTORIA GEHRING drew a leadoff walk and went to second on an infield single by NOEL HODGINS. BROOKE POWERS followed with a base hit to left field ,driving in Gehring to make the score 2-1.

Kean widened the lead in the top of the third. Mackenzie Valeriani doubled home a run before Dana Knapp blasted a three-run homer for a 6-1 advantage.  The Cougars (20-20, 9-9 NJAC) tacked on a run in the fifth and two more in the sixth for the final margin.

Kiele Eichlin picked up the victory allowing seven hits. She struck out four and walked one. LAUREN BOOTH took the loss for the Red Hawks. Samantha Krakower and Powers each posted multiple-hit games.

Scoreless through the first five innings, Kean broke through in the sixth. Tonianne DeMatteo singled to open the inning and Olivia Zengel followed with an infield hit. Emily Sabo's bunt hit loaded the bases. Powers fanned the next hitter, but a passed ball allowed DeMatteo to come home with what turned out to be the game-winning run.

Montclair State had chance in the seventh as ALANA LUNA led off with a single. However a double-play quickly erased that and it proved to more important as Booth dropped a single into center with two outs. McMahon struck out the next batter to end the game.
