During that series, Megan Roe shined in the circle for West Alabama as the senior registered a .082 ERA in 12.0 innings of work across two starts. The Right-Hander blanked AUM in Game Two of the series, going all 7.0 innings while allowing just three hits and striking out a pair. After her performance last weekend, Roe now ranks fifth in the GSC with a 1.57 ERA and is projected to start Game Two for the Tigers on Saturday.

In 38.2 innings of work, the senior has accumulated 48 strikeouts which puts her fourth in the league. As for Stanbridge, she currently leads the GSC in ERA with a 0.78 mark in 18.0 innings.

At the plate, Haley Shannon continues to blossom in the leadoff spot for the Tigers. The junior leads the team with a .385 batting average and enters the weekend hitting .450 over the last six games. In the middle of the order, Ella Watson has proved to be the best overall bat in the order for UWA through the first 16 games. The sophomore Outfielder hit two Home runs last weekend against AUM, moving her season total to five along with a .372 batting average.

True Freshman Kayla Morris has been impressive in her introductory season as she enters Saturday's matchup after hitting .400 and two Home Runs against AUM. Morris is one of the best power bats in the order, bringing a stat line of .282 BA, three Home Runs, and 11 RBIs into this weekend's series.

Beeson, a junior Outfielder, leads the team with a .387 batting average along with a .406 on-base percentage. As for Williamson, she's a sophomore Infielder who's hitting .308 to begin the season. 

In the circle, Emily Schooler may be the best player on CBU's roster. The senior Right-Hander is 2-2 on the year with a 1.89 ERA in 40.2 innings thus far.
