CLOSER LOOK
Prince had at least one hit in each of Fisher's four championship games. The senior went 6-15 over the weekend, and scored four runs and drove in three as well. Her biggest game of the championship weekend came in Fisher's win over Stevens during Saturday's winners' bracket game in which she drove in all three Cardinals' runs in their 3-2 win.
Prince and the Cardinals won their third consecutive E8 title on Sunday, and now await word on who they'll take on in the upcoming NCAA Tournament field.
