QUOTABLE:
""I was really proud of the way we overcame four errors to win both games tonight,"" Wesleyan head coach Dickey Hightower stated. ""Mellissa picked up two big wins, giving up only one earned run for the night. We still didn't hit the ball as well as I'd like, but we got key hits at the right time and did not strike out much at all. All in all, it was a great night for everyone and I'm proud of our effort.""
