It's back to the East Coast for Yale softball as the team opens Ivy League play with a three-game series on the road at Princeton this weekend. Both teams began the season with road trips out of state to prepare for the long stretch of the season. The Bulldogs journeyed to Mississippi, Florida, and California, while the Tigers took their efforts to Virginia, Texas, and Florida.
 
Hear from Coach
"We are fired up to be opening Ivy play. Princeton is a well-coached opponent that we feel prepared to put our best foot forward against after our three road trips and 14 tournament games," said Head Coach Laura Ricciardone. "We gained valuable experience, playing time and game-time lessons that we are ready to put in motion as we hit the ground running."
 
Last Year Against Princeton
Princeton swept the season series last year. The Tigers picked up a 9-1, 12-0, and 5-4 victory over the Bulldogs in New Haven.

Last Time Out     

• Yale took down San Diego, 4-1, to close their California slate of games.
• Nicole Conway pitched her way through a complete game with five strikeouts in the win.
• Lauren Perren went one-for-three with three RBI.
• Alex Perren went one-for-two with a run scored.
• Sam Goodcase went two-for-three.

 
Ivy League Honors

• Lauren Perren was named the Player of the Week for her performance on the squad's San Diego trip last weekend. The Mississippi native batted .385, had a triple and a double, brought in seven RBI, and scored two runs. She had the game-winning triple that knocked home three runs to defeat San Diego.
• Willa Ferrer was named to the honor roll after posting a solid weekend for Yale. Ferrer had five hits, including three doubles and a home run, four RBI, and one run scored.  

Looking Ahead
