Nine of the 10 Big Green games before the spring term arrives will take place in the Peach State
Dartmouth will spend its spring break in the state of Georgia with a day trip to Alabama mixed into the 10 games on the docket between March 17 and 22, including a pair of games against 21st-ranked Georgia at the UGA Classic. The Big Green are looking to quickly put an end their seven-game skid since winning two of their first three games of the season, beginning with a twinbill at Georgia State on Thursday.
The bats have yet to get on track, though rookie Alaana Panu has a .618 OPS with a pair of doubles and four runs, and Kate Farren and Kelly Beaupre have driven in a team-high four runs apiece. Keep an eye on Billie McFadyen and Mary Beth Cahalan during the trip; the duo combined to hit over .500 in the five games that made up the 2021 season. When they go, the offense goes.
On the mound, Brooke Plonka (1-5, 2.90) has thrown nearly half of Dartmouth's 66 innings, limiting opposing hitters to a .246 average.Freshman Racel McCarroll has been effective as well with a 2.38 ERA in five appearances (one start) spanning 17.2 frames.
Look Back at Recent Games
• On March 4-6, Dartmouth played five games at the Tennessee Invitational, hosted by the 17th-ranked Lady Vols.Unfortunately, the Big Green dropped all five contests, starting with a hard-fought, 1-0 defeat in eight innings against South Alabama.
• The bats had trouble getting started, scoring three runs in the five games, though Izzy Kam had three hits and an RBI and Mary Beth Cahalan reached base five times with a pair of hits and three walks.
• Both Plonka and McCarroll acquitted themselves on the mound well considering the stiff competition with the former posting a 3.32 ERA and the latter a 3.18 ERA in a combined 23.2 innings of work at the tournament.
• The Big Green did hold a 2-0 lead over South Alabama in their final game in Knoxville, but a four-run fifth for the Jaguars denied Dartmouth in a 5-2 loss.
Georgia State (8-16) — March 17 (DH)
• The Panthers have lost seven of its last eight games with five of those contests against ranked opponents, including a 4-1 victory over No. 22 Louisiana last Friday.
• These are the first games ever between these two on the softball diamond.
• Bailee Richardson has been GSU's top hitter with a .329 average, seven home runs and 22 RBIs.
• On the mound, Emily Buck is the team's workhorse with a 4-4 record and 3.17 ERA over 46.1 innings.
Illinois (11-7) — March 18 at UGA Classic
• Five of the Figthing Illini's seven losses have come against ranked teams, as have two of their wins.

Jacksonville State (14-8) — March 21
• A trip across the border into Alabama is on the docket, and the Gamecocks have won five in a row and seven of their last eight.
• JSU has a balanced offensive attack with seven players bashing between two and four homers.
