The Hoyas are 9-24 on the season and 2-3 in the BIG EAST. Last weekend, the team dropped a pair of games at St. John's. For the season, junior Noelle Holiday (Bear, Del. / Red Lion Christian Academy) leads the team with a .351 batting average, a .688 slugging percentage, 26 RBIs and is tied for first with eight doubles. Sophomore Savannah Jones (San Rafael, Calif. / Terra Linda) and freshman Mae Forshey (Phoenix, Ariz. / Arcadia) rank first on the team with 29 hits apiece and tie with Holiday for eight doubles. Additionally, senior Sarah Bennett (Owings, Md. / Northern) has a team-high seven home runs.
 
The Blue Demons are 23-9 overall and 3-1 in the BIG EAST.

For the season, junior Jessica Cothern leads the Blue Demons batting .371 along with 11 doubles, five homers and a league-best 33 RBIs.
 
The Hoyas are 4-16 all-time against DePaul and won the series last season 2-1 at Cacciatore Stadium. Holiday led GU to an 8-6 victory in the first game of the 2018 series with a two-run homer and Bennett hit a walkoff home run in the final game to lead the Blue & Gray 5-4 in extra innings.
