Sleith elevated her game when Robert Morris needed it most, finishing 2-0 with a save and microscopic 0.47 ERA as the Colonials won their third straight NEC regular season championship, sharing the top spot with CCSU.  She struck out 21 batters in 15 innings and limited opponents to a .164 average.  Sleith, now a four-time NEC Pitcher of the Week, tossed a thee-hit shutout in Saturday's 1-0 win over Quinnipiac in the first game of the DH.  She fanned ten and did not walk a batter.  It was her sixth shutout of the year and 11th of her career.  Later that afternoon, Sleith threw two innings of shutout relief to earn the save in an 8-6 victory over the Bobcats.  It marked her tenth career save, the most in RMU annals.  The Smithton, PA native closed out her week with a complete-game four hitter in the Colonials' 9-1 game one win over Sacred Heart on Sunday.  She yielded a single run, struck out seven and did not issue a walk.  In doing so, she surpassed the 200 strikeout mark (205) for the second straight season and is just the third RMU hurler to post multiple 200K seasons in a career.  On the year, Sleith has amassed a 17-7 record and 1.51 ERA.
