99 gets you a FULL year of On3 | Rivals national coverage ] I don’t love talking about it, but our team, players (past & present), and program deserve a lot of credit — a 65-game winning streak is something special. I’m incredibly proud of our girls and the GRIT they’ve shown throughout this journey. Today, we came up short against 3-time RI State Champions LaSalle.
Our girls battled until the end, but they had the timely hits and we didn’t. We had 5 hits, they had 8. We recorded 6 strikeouts; they had 7.
In the end, it came down to timely hitting and strong defense. Congrats & best of luck the rest of the way. It’s been 1,070 days since the Tigers last lost.
