MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. – The RMU softball team is set to begin Horizon League action, hosting Green Bay for a three-game series at the North Athletic Complex. Game one is scheduled for Friday, March 20 at 1:00 PM, followed by a doubleheader on Saturday, March 21 beginning at 12:00 PM.
 
All three games will stream live on ESPN+ with commentary from Adam Gusky, Brandon Rossi, Damen McDermott and Spencer Witt throughout the weekend.
 
RMU LATELY
RMU (12-6) enters the week riding a five-game win streak after a dominant stretch. The Colonials defeated Pitt, 12-3, before sweeping Mercyhurst in a four-game series over the weekend. During that span, RMU outscored its opponents 52-11. The weekend was highlighted by sophomore Mary Brant hitting for the cycle in one game while tying her career high with six RBI.
 
Through 18 games, junior catcher Aglaia Rudd leads the team in hits (30), batting average (.588), slugging percentage (1.137), OPS (1.737) and on-base percentage (.600). Rudd and Brant each have a team-high seven doubles. Redshirt senior Courtney Poulich paces the Colonials in home runs (10) and RBI (31), while junior outfielder Eloise Facher has recorded a team-best four triples.
 
In the circle, junior Kaitlyn Molitoris leads the staff with 40 strikeouts in 36.1 innings, while redshirt freshman Madison Brown has made six appearances and holds a 1.71 ERA.

Courtney Poulich

• 1st in runs per game (2.00)
• 5th in home runs per game (0.56)
• 5th in RBI per game (1.72)
• 7th in slugging percentage (1.093)

As a team, RMU ranks fourth in runs per game (10.11), sixth in batting average (.381), sixth in slugging percentage (.686), seventh in on-base percentage (.477) and seventh in home runs per game (1.89).
 
MILESTONE WATCH
After eclipsing 100 career RBI and runs scored this past weekend at Mercyhurst, Poulich is now just one hit shy of 100 for her career.
 
Rudd enters the series with 97 career hits, sitting three away from the century mark.
 
DOUBLE DIGITS
Through the early part of the 2026 campaign, RMU is 10-0 when scoring 10 or more runs. The program record for double-digit scoring wins in a season is 12, set by the 2025 squad. The previous mark was nine, set in 1997.
 
ALL-TIME VS. GREEN BAY
Since joining the Horizon League in 2021, RMU is 8-9 all-time against Green Bay, but momentum has shifted in favor of the Colonials. RMU has won five straight in the series, including a three-game sweep in Wisconsin last season and a 4-3 extra-inning victory in the Horizon League Championship opener.
 
In that postseason matchup, Poulich homered and drove in two runs, while alum Logan Black delivered a walk-off single in the eighth inning.
 
SCOUTING THE PHOENIX
Green Bay (4-17) enters the weekend on a three-game losing streak following a non-conference slate that featured tournaments in Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri and Indiana.
 
Freshman Gracie Anderson leads the Phoenix with a .333 batting average, six doubles, a .533 slugging percentage, 11 walks and a .474 on-base percentage. Senior Jenna Redders is also hitting .333, while catcher Sara Ebner leads the team with 17 hits. Redshirt junior Emma Krueger has driven in a team-high 14 runs and hit two home runs.
 
In the circle, freshman Jasmyn Trigueros leads the staff with a 5.60 ERA and 20 strikeouts, while she and junior Ava Schill share the team lead with two wins apiece.

RMU continues Horizon League play on the road with a three-game series at Oakland scheduled for March 27-28.
