Breast Cancer Awareness night: Saint Rose is wearing pink Friday night in honor of its annual breast cancer awareness game. The Golden Knights will be accepting donations toward Camp Bravehearts, an oncology camp for women directed in part by head women's basketball coach and senior woman administrator Karen Haag. Ribbons placed on the side of the home and visitor dug outs serve as recognition for those who have battled, are currently fighting, or succumb to some form of cancer, and impacted a Saint Rose or Southern Connecticut team or staff member in some way.
 
Senior day (Saturday): In honor of the final home games of the 2015 regular season, Saint Rose will take time in between Saturday's double header to honor the six senior members of the team for their hard work and dedication towards the program.
 
Last meeting (4/13/14): The Owls claimed last season's series 2-1 at Pelz Field. SCSU took games one and three, while Saint Rose claimed the middle contest. Amber Loussedes '14 and Olivia Reeves '14 led the Golden Knights from the plate as both dished out four hits on the weekend. Sophomore Carly Wood registered a .375 average (3-for-8) to sit just behind. Sophomore Renee Vaiano nabbed the lone win in the circle, while junior Nicole Wickham suffered both losses. The duo combined for seven strikeouts and nine runs, eight of them earned. For the Owls, senior Sarah Koerner went 6-for-10, followed by Nicole Buch at 5-for-11 and Kaley Marden '14 at 3-for-9. Junior Yesenia Evaristo '14 threw 15 solid innings over the course of both days, claiming both wins while fanning 12 batters and giving up 15 hits and four runs, all of them earned.
 
Saint Rose Scout (13-15, 5-7 NE-10): The Golden Knights have won five of their last eight, including a split with American International on Tuesday that featured a nine inning come-from-behind win. Wood paces the squad offensively with a .400 average, putting the ball into play 34 times, including six doubles and one homer. Junior Taylor Snyder and freshman Taylor Solomon sit behind at .333 and .305, respectively. Junior Tina Karaqi holds a team-high 16 RBI, while Zoe DuBois has cranked out seven doubles. From the circle, Wickham (7-9) holds a bullpen-best 2.86 ERA in 98.0 innings on the rubber. She has fanned 55 batters, and given up 114 hits and 59 runs, 40 of them earned. Vaiano (3-5) and senior Ashlee Frazier (3-2) have combined for 90.2 innings and 54 strikeouts to hold 3.00 and 3.32 ERAs, respectively.
 
SCSU Scout (11-12, 5-5 NE-10): Entering Friday's contest on a four-game Northeast-10 Conference losing streak, the Owls are led by Buchs with a .417 mark and a team-high 25 hits. Sophomore Giuliana D'Arcangelo's (.300) 21 hits ranks second, followed by junior Leanna Feerick at 18 and a team-high 11 RBI. Bucks and D'Arcangelo hold near-perfect marks on the bases with 9-for-10 and 8-for-10 efforts, respectively.
