 Albuquerque, N.M. | Cibola
 Marquis hit .643 (9-for-14) with two doubles, two triples, five home runs, 15 RBIs and nine runs scored in a 4-0 week for the Fords. That effort included a program-best three homers in the first game of a doubleheader at Cabrini on Wednesday as part of a four-homer day. She slashed a .643/.667/2.143 line and also played stellar defense, splitting time between catcher and the infield. Marquis recorded at least one hit and scored one run in each contest while knocking in multiple RBIs in each contest. She leads the Centennial Conference in RBIs (25), homers (5), triples (3), and slugging percentage (1.087).
