Sophomore Courtney Young (Danvers, Mass.) belted a pair of homers and drove in three runs to lift Stonehill to a sweep of a Northeast-10 Conference doubleheader from Franklin Pierce last Saturday afternoon by scores of 8-0 in the opener and 3-0 in the nightcap in games played at Gartland Field.  Sophomore Katie Mottau (Woonsocket, R.I.) tossed a three-hit complete-game shutout and helped her own cause with a three-run homer in the opening game triumph for Head Coach Danielle Delude's Skyhawks, while junior Danielle Mason (Salisbury, Mass.) went the distance in tossing a complete-game four-hit shutout in the nightcap win for Stonehill, which also received two hits and a pair of RBI off the bat of junior Jaime Ippolito (Chelsea, Mass.).  Mottau and freshman Kait Mendall (Middleboro, Mass.) collected back-to-back shutouts on the mound for the Skyhawks in a Northeast-10 doubleheader sweep of Assumption last Monday afternoon in Worcester, Mass., as Mendall allowed three hits and struck out a career-high seven in a 1-0 opening game triumph while Mottau carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning of the nightcap, setting for a one-hitter in a 16-0 victory that featured four RBI off the bat of Ippolito as well as four hits by sophomore Kate Brides (West Bridgewater, Mass.).  Stonehill, now 8-14 overall and 7-5 in Northeast-10 play, is scheduled to take on Merrimack in a Northeast-10 twinbill on Thursday afternoon in North Andover, Mass. beginning at 3:30 p.m. EDT.

Stonehill clinched second place in the final regular season Northeast-10 Conference standings with three league dual-match triumphs last week, as Head Coach Peter Miller's Skyhawks posted home wins over Merrimack (6-3) and LeMoyne (9-0) and eked out a 5-4 road victory over Bryant last Saturday afternoon in Smithfield, R.I.  Freshman Mike Mashkevich (Framingham, Mass.) posted a perfect 6-0 combined mark in both singles and doubles play on the week for Stonehill, which also received a 4-0 slate from senior Matt Grabala (Bristol, Conn.) as well as four combined victories from sophomore Will Herchel (Hampden, Mass.).  Sophomore Jason Allegretti (Lincoln, R.I.) posted a key singles win in the dual-match victory at Bryant, while junior John McGaffigan (Dedham, Mass.) and sophomore Dustin Marshall (Hopewell Junction, N.Y.) also contributed with singles triumphs against Merrimack.  The Skyhawks will take a 13-4 overall mark and a 9-1 Northeast-10 slate into their final regular season match Wednesday afternoon against Saint Anselm at the Ames Sports Complex beginning at 3:30 p.m. EDT.  Stonehill will be seeded second in this weekend's conference tournament and will host seventh-seeded Pace in a quarterfinal round match Thursday afternoon beginning at 3:30 p.m. EDT.
