Undoubtedly Wesleyan will turn the keys to the Ferrari over to former New London ace Morgan Christner, who has found another gear in the back half of her senior season.
Christner has allowed two runs or less in each of her last six starts.
Her four wins leads the staff her ERA is now a sparkling 1.90.
