St. Bonaventure, NY- After playing in their final conference series this past weekend, the Mercyhurst Softball team is set to finish the season with a doubleheader against St. Bonaventure University. This is the fourth and fifth meeting between the two sides this season. 

Lakers' Form 
Mercyhurst is 5-32 on the season and 3-18 in conference play. This past weekend, they picked up their third NEC win of the season in an 11-10 thriller against Le Moyne College where four players hit a home run. The Lakers currently have three players with a batting average above .300. Jazlynn Sanders, Eliza Reynolds, and Lauren Henrich. Sanders has 31 hits, 20 RBIs, seven home runs, and an OPS of 1.066 in 94 at bats this season. Reynolds has 40 hits, 23 RBIs, a slugging percentage of .520. Henrich has much fewer at bats, but still has 18 hits, nine RBIs, and four home runs. Henrich has hit three home runs in the past week and earned the NEC Rookie of the Week honor yesterday. These three are likely to create a lot of offensive play on Thursday.
