"Despite today's results, we had a lot of positive takeaways from our first weekend," Brown head coach Kate Refsnyder said.

We'll learn from our mistakes this weekend and look forward to playing four games in North Carolina next weekend."

For the weekend, Cranford hit .875 (7-for-8) with two doubles and three RBIs while Seitz hit .357 (5-for-14) with six runs, three doubles, three RBIs, and two homers.
