The Lynx were grinding in Florida, suiting up for seven total games. The offense struggled in the Sunshine State, averaging only 1.4 runs per game. Conversely, their defense held their oponents to three or fewer runs four times. Madison Stringfield and KT Siekerka continue to lead the offense, hitting .373 and .354, respectively. Madison Keller has stepped up in the circle, and leads the team in ERA at 4.70. Beth Fleming is the top strikeout pitcher with 44 in 47 innings.

SET UP
Rhodes went 3-2 in Florida over Spring Break, and picked up another win this past Wednesday against D-II Christian Brothers.

Rhodes (12-10-1, 3-3 SAA) | Roster | Schedule | Stats
The Lynx offense is cooking right now, averging nine runs per game over their last three (all wins). Ben Wilson is on a tear, with eight hits in his last eight at bats. HE also has five runs and six RBI in that time frame. Six of the top eight hitters for the Lynx are hitting above .300, with Wood Kimbrough (.295) and Dante Messina (.290) narrowly missing out on the list. Peter York leads the SAA in steals with 19 in 20 attempts. CJ Carron, Jacob Dubs and Nick Ferazzi will be relied up on to come up big on the mound during this important SAA series. Centre is 10-11 overall, and 2-4 in SAA play..

SET UP
Rhodes fell in two games last week against #13 Ithaca and a tough Elmhurst squad. Now that they have completed their brutal non-con schedule, the Lynx will look to sweep the SAA in order to have a shot at a NCAA bid.

Rhodes (0-9, 0-0 SAA) | Roster | Schedule | Stats
The Lynx are battling in every game, but just can't seem to keep the fight going for 60 minutes. Their offense will look to improve on their 7.9 goals per game average. Freshman Drew Downes has eclipsed the 20 goal mark in his first season as a Lynx. Rhodes has also welcomed back senior Christian Cisneros, who leads the team with 13 assists despite playing in only four games after last season's injury. Ryan Dancy is the only other Lynx with double-digit goals, sitting at eleven. Brendan Roberts has more saves than goals allowed, and a .520% overall save percentage.

SET UP
Rhodes went 3-1 during spring break, averaging more than 17 goals per game. This week's matchup with Sewanee could very well determine the fate of the SAA regular season. The Lynx are 8-3 (2-0 SAA) while the Tigers sit at 9-3 (1-0 SAA).

Rhodes (8-3, 2-0 SAA) | Roster | Schedule | Stats
The Lynx had an overall positive spring break, despite their 17-10 loss to Stevenson. The offense is in top form, with attacker Emily Bruner leading the way. Earlier this week, Bruner was named the IWLCA D-III Offensive Player of the Week after dishing out 25 assists in four games, including a school-record nine against Mount Holyoke. Bruner has two times more assists than any other player in the conference. Sewanee is the only team in the SAA with more goals than Rhodes (194-182), led by Hattie Fogarty's 47.

SET UP
Rhodes swept through all four of their spring break matches in Florida, but then fell in their most recent game against D-II Henderson State on Monday.

Rhodes (9-2, 1-0 SAA) | Roster | Schedule | Stats
The Lynx dominated their Florida competition with wins of 7-2, 8-1, 8-1, and 9-0. Lea Letourneau and Emma McHale are the team leaders in wins with seven each.
