Freshman third baseman Hallie Gibbs hit the program's eighth all-time grand slam when she sent a deep shot over the leftfield fence during the second inning of game one.
Connecticut defeated Syracuse, 9-1, in five innings and, 7-6, on Sunday.

Senior outfielder Chanel Roehner was 4-for-7 on the day, while Kelley hit her seventh home run, a three-run shot, of the season and added two more RBI.
