QUOTABLE
"Our seniors have been a huge piece of putting together our culture. They've been here through our transition into the Horizon League and have helped us succeed so much. It's a special day for them and their families. This class in our program history is going to be right there as one of the most successful classes to ever come through this program." – Head Coach Jexx Varner
 
"The growth of our other pitchers has allowed us to use Madison (DeVault) in places where she can be very successful. We've seen such growth in her since her freshman year in the conference tournament. She's very hard to hit coming off facing our other pitchers so forcing that late adjustment on other teams has helped us tremendously." – Head Coach Jexx Varner

RMU will close out their home schedule against Cleveland State tomorrow with a single game at 12:00 PM. With a quick turnaround, the Colonials will then play a double-header at Detroit Mercy on Monday, April 22, beginning at 12:00 PM.
