Wilen constructed a big week at the plate to extend her hitting streak to 11 games. The California native batted .364 (8-for-22) and slugged .909 in a week where the Knights faced a hot Stony Brook team, who came in with a 12-game winning streak, and two crucial NEC doubleheaders, resulting in a 3-1 finish and a spot in third place with four games to play. Wilen hit three home runs in the week, all against NEC opponents, collected nine RBI and scored four runs. Wilen also added three doubles, as six of her eight hits went for extra bases. The Knights trailed 6-1 in game two against LIU Brooklyn, before Wilen crushed a three-run bomb to slice the deficit to 6-4 that got FDU back in the game. In her best game of the season in game one against Wagner, Wilen went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, three RBI and two runs to reach base four times. She scored the first run of the game in the bottom of the first to give the Knights a 1-0 lead, before delivering a clutch two-out RBI double in the bottom of the second to increase the advantage to 2-0. Later on in the bottom of the fifth, she hit a two-run bomb over the center field fence to make it 5-0.
