Tigers to Host Monmouth Tuesday in Final Non-League Home Game
April 09, 2018 | Softball
The sole non-league home game for the Princeton softball team is set for Tuesday at the Class of 1895 Field when the Tigers host Monmouth for a single game at 4 p.m.
Admission is free, live stats can be found here, and coverage will be available through the Ivy League Network.
The Tigers are coming off a weekend series at '95 Field against Dartmouth in which Princeton won the first but the Big Green took the last two to win the series, dropping the Tigers to 3-6 in Ivy League play. With half the league four weekends in and half the league, including the Tigers, three weekends in, Harvard (8-4), Dartmouth (6-3) and Cornell (6-3) lead the league in winning percentage at .667. Penn (7-5, .583) and Columbia (6-6, .500) are next, followed by Yale (4-8, .333) and Princeton (3-6, .333), with Brown (2-7, .222) rounding it out.
Monmouth is the last league-unbeaten team in the MAAC, at 4-0, with the Hawks coming off a Friday twinbill sweep of Rider. Heading into that Rider doubleheader, the Hawks' Katie Baron ranked 23rd nationally in batting average at .446, now hitting .420. The Hawks are hitting .254 as a team, and Amanda Riley (8-5, 2.86), Megan Stauffer (1-3, 5.02) and Lilly Robles (3-5, 5.88) have thrown all but two of Monmouth's 169 1/3 innings while the staff has accrued a 4.09 ERA.Â
Princeton is hitting .266 as a team with six players at or above .300. Rookie Emily Taggart has a team-high .333 batting average, with 13 hits in 39 at bats, while sophomore Megan Donahey has a team-best 26 hits on the way to a .305 average. Classmate Allison Harvey has driven in a team-best 14 runs, and rookie Mackenzie Meyer hit her third home run of the season over the weekend to lead the team in that category. Princeton has a 7.14 ERA as a team with freshman Allie Reynolds (3-11, 5.96) and senior Ashley LaGuardia (2-7, 7.97) have thrown all but 18 of the team's 152 innings.
Princeton is 11-1 all-time against Monmouth. The teams played nine of those 12 games from 1992-2003, and since the series was revived in 2015, Princeton has won two of the last three, including in each of the last two seasons. The Tigers won 5-1 last season in West Long Branch in the teams' last meeting.
Following the Monmouth game, Princeton will return to Ivy play Saturday and Sunday at Yale.
