Emily Jonte (Allen, Texas) has provided a strong start for the Friars, posting a .400 batting average. The senior has recorded 24 hits, nine RBI, and a .525 slugging percentage. Jonte was named BIG EAST Player of the Week earlier this season following her performance in a weekend sweep of DePaul.
Dunn has had an impressive season for Providence so far. The infielder has been featured on the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll three times and leads the team with 33 RBI, 11 home runs, and a .925 slugging percentage. Her 11 home runs are tied for second in the BIG EAST, while her slugging percentage ranks second in the conference.
