Johnson, a senior, posted a 1-1 record with a 1.66 earned-run averaged and 17 strikeouts across three appearances as the Eagles opened their season in Florida. She took the loss in BenU's season opener against Anderson (Ind.), allowing three earned runs on seven hits and a pair of walks while striking out seven in 5-1/3 innings. Johnson rebounded to appear in both games on March 8, picking up the win in an 11-0, five-inning win over Carlow (Pa.). She struck out eight while allowing just one hit and one walk against the Celtics. Johnson also tossed the final two innings of the Eagles' 7-3 win over Thomas (Maine), retiring six of the seven Terriers she faced, including two by strikeout.
