"Our focus is on continuing to improve and applying what we are working on," CWU Head Coach
Alison Mitchell said. "I am expecting the pitchers to continue to work trust their spins and hit their spots and the hitters to work to contact with their lower half. Defensively we have had our ups and downs, so the more in game reps we can get the better. We look forward to any chance we get to get on the field and compete."
