Kowalski got her collegiate career off to a solid start, posting a 2-0 record across a pair of starts and three appearances. Registering a 2.57 ERA while compiling nine strikeouts over 16.1 innings, the San Clemente, CA native held opponents to a .210 batting average during that stretch. Kowalski made a splash in her first collegiate start, going the distance in the Pioneers’ season-opening 9-4 win over Bellarmine on Friday. The hurler earned the starting nod again against Binghamton on Saturday. Scattering just four hits while striking out five batters, Kowalski earned her first complete-game shutout victory after Sacred Heart defeated the Bearcats by a 2-0 final.
