And She's Fast Too!
Taryn Jenkins is the Horizon League leader with 21 stolen bases this season. That is a top-70 mark in the country.
And a Slugger!
Taryn Jenkins is in the top-100 in the country with 0.28 doubles per game, which is second in the Horizon League. Her .611 slugging percentage is in the top-200 in the country and first in the HL. Her batting average of .375 is second in the league.
Leading the League

oK Queen!
Alanah Jones is leading the Horizon League with 167 strikeouts this season. This mark is also top-30 nationally. Her 7.6 strikeouts per seven innings is also in the top-75 in the country.
Last Time Out
Green Bay took three games from the Mastodons in a Horizon League series.
Next Time Up
The Mastodons need three wins and some help to qualify for the Horizon League Championship, which kicks off on May 10 at the highest available seed.
