TOWSON, Md. – The Towson University softball team will conclude the regular season with a doubleheader against Mount St. Mary's on Wednesday, April 29 before traveling to Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) rival Delaware for a weekend series.

Freshman Daria Edwards was honored as the CAA Rookie of the Week for her performance. She led the Tigers with six runs scored and had eight hits including a grand slam. Her grand slam on Sunday helped the Tigers to set a new single-season school record for home runs with 45.

Mariah Kondravy paces the Blue Hens with a .366 batting average and her 12 home runs and 44 RBI are both just one shy of school single-season marks.

The CAA Tournament will take place May 6-8 at the Veterans Memorial Park, hosted by James Madison. The Dukes will be the top seed in the four-team, double-elimination tournament, while Hofstra will be the second seed. The final two spots are still up for grabs as the other six teams, including the Tigers, are all still mathematically alive for a postseason berth. Towson is currently tied with Elon for third-place in the standings, as both the Tigers and Phoenix have an 8-10 CAA record.
