Zavala brought the heat for Wagner last week to help lead the Seahawks to a 3-1 record. In 12.3 innings of work, the hurler, who went 3-0 across four appearances and a pair of starts, posted a 0.54 ERA after allowing just one earned run. In addition, the California native fanned 17 batters to boost her season total to 69, a mark that is one off of the league leader. Zavala went to work early in the week for the Seahawks. Coming out of the bullpen at Iona on Thursday with the game tied at 5-5 and two down in the bottom of the sixth, the junior put down the final four Gael batters she faced to earn the win in the 6-5 decision. Two days later, she opened Wagner’s three-game set with New Haven in dominant fashion, going the distance while striking out 10 batters en route to a six-hit 2-0 shutout on Saturday. Zavala went on to pick up her third victory of the week in her final appearance on Sunday. Scattering two runs — one earned — on six hits over 4.0 frames, she helped the Seahawks build a 5-2 lead and earn the weekend sweep with an eventual 8-2 victory. Zavala leads the NEC in ERA (3.38) and opposing batting average (.240).
