Caprice also posted two runs in game one for the Hawks. She scored the teams first run with a single in the third inning. As a team Roger Williams posted 21 putouts, with Tierney having a team-high 10.

Roger Williams’ pitcher Jaclyn Doolin (Miller Place, N.Y.) pitched a complete game allowing just one hit, one walk, and striking out nine Regis batters.

Offensively Regis could not get the bat on the ball. Regis’ Hope Benjamin (Rochester, Mass.) had the Pride’s only hit of the game.
