...bases-loaded jam in the sixth and pitched a perfect seventh inning to earn just her third career save. Madick pitched six hitless innings in two games against Columbia the following weekend, got the win in both contests with shutout innings against Penn, then threw six shutout innings in relief of sophomore Dana Roberts against Holy Cross. After lights-out pitching in her relief role and with Ivy League North Division play opening against Yale, Allard saw the opportunity to use Madick in a more traditional way. Madick got the start in the first game against the Bulldogs last Saturday...
