The University of Minnesota Morris couldn't have asked for a better week going 4-0 in conference play to remain very much alive for a postseason bid. Paige Larson was incredible for the Cougars going 12-of-14 at the plate with an outstanding 14 RBI and nine runs scored. The sophomore finished the week with a .857 average, .867 on base percentage and 1.286 slugging percentage. This season, Larson's 15 RBI in conference games ranks second in the UMAC. She also ranks in the topo 10 in UMAC play for batting average and slugging. The Cougars will face two of the top teams in the University of Northwestern-St. Paul and the Unviersity of Wisconsin-Superior this week as they look for a postseason spot.
