Manuse helped East Carolina claim the GMU Patriot Classic title with a 6-0 record last weekend. The junior was named tournament MVP and hit a grand slam against St. Francis (NY) on Saturday. Manuse hit .625 for the week, while collecting six doubles, two homers, and 13 RBI. She also scored nine runs for the Pirates. In the tournament opener against host George Mason, she went 4-for-4, posting three doubles and a two-run homer.
Through 39 games this season Manuse leads ECU in hitting with a .394 batting average. She also leads the Pirates in hits (43), doubles (18), home runs (4) and RBIs (33). Manuse stands just four doubles shy of tying the ECU single season record for two-base hits.
Manuse and her teammates return to the diamond Tuesday against UNC Wilmington. The first game of the doubleheader is scheduled for 2 p.m. at the ECU Softball Field.
