Freshman Naomi Bush (Fruitport, Mich./Fruitport) hit a team-high .310 with 13 kills against just four errors on 29 swings.

The return of freshman Ali Loynachan (Whitby, Ontario/Sinclair), who missed the last five weeks with mono, also provided a boost for the Retrievers, as she tallied eight kills.

“She gives a strong sense of physicality and it was great to have her back,” Blanchard said.

The Retrievers return to action on Sunday when they visit America East rival Albany.
