Geneseo Sports Information Department
GENESEO, N.Y. - SUNY Geneseo senior catcher Katherine Hayes posted a pair of hits but it wasn't enough for the Knights as they fell, 4-0, to Stevens. The Knights' season came to an end with the loss, leaving the team with a 34-6 mark, the second-best winning percentage in program history and the third-most wins in program history.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Stevens scored single runs in the first, second, fourth and fifth innings to build up a 4-0 lead.
- In the top of the third, the first two Geneseo batters reached base, but Stevens got out of the jam with a double play off the pitcher's glove to end the threat.
- In the fifth, the Knights loaded the bases with one out but couldn't drive in any runs as the Ducks averted the crisis again.
- Geneseo added baserunners in the sixth and the seventh innings, but still could not manufacture a run, falling 4-0 to Stevens.
QUICK FACTS
- Hayes and junior outfielder Samantha Martz each finished with two hits to lead the Knights, who finished with nine hits as a team, but nine runners left on base.
- Geneseo finished the season with a 34-6 mark, finishing with 30 or more wins for the third time since 2018.
- The Knights graduate seniors Taylor Riccardi, Phoebe Elardo, Alexandra Koutsogiannis, Mattie Klein and Katherine Hayes. The Class of 2022 earned 93 victories over the course of four seasons (including the shortened 2020 season), two SUNYAC Championships and three NCAA Tournament berths.
