Samantha Howe was a workhorse for Manhattanville last week, appearing in six of the team's eight games (with five starts) and tossing 34.2 total innings while giving up just five earned runs (1.01 ERA) and striking out 25. The sophomore went 3-2 on the week, but she gave up just two earned runs (three overall) in her two losses. She started both games of the week-opening doubleheader against King's, tossing eight scoreless innings before allowing two in the ninth of a 2-0 loss, but came back to shut out the Monarchs, 1-0, in game two. She also started both games against Alvernia, giving up just one run in seven innings in another twinbill split. Her final appearance of the week came in relief, as she entered in the first inning and gave up just one run in 6.2 innings as the Valiants came back to defeat Merchant Marine, 12-4.
