The girls upped their record to 22 and 3 on the season and 14 and 2 in conference. Great job ladies! 

The baseball team lost a tough one to Rochester last night by the score of 3 to 2. Griffin Burk pitched well, but the Rockets outhit the Senators and deserved the win. Enrico Veach led the offense with 2 doubles and Seth Impson also chipped in 2 hits. Ryne Crum drove in a run with a sacrifice fly to account for the only RBI.
