Last time out vs Mohawk

In their last meeting, Humber was coming off a thrashing of Mohawk winning 16-3 in five innings. The Hawks in this matchup would be looking for the series sweep and get back to .500 before the calendar flipped to October. In hopes of completing the four game sweep, Humber sent Rachel Matheson-Green to toe the rubber. Matheson-Green would be dominant for the Hawks, allowing three runs on five hits over her six innings of work. Unfortunately, the Humber offense would go silent in this one and only muster up four hits in the effort. Matheson-Green would take her first loss of the season as the Hawks lose 3-0. On a positive note, third baseman, Bonnie Gillingham, surpassing Humber Softball Alumni Natalie Stoberman for the all-time hits leader (75) with her double in the first inning.
