• Three players finished the weekend batting over .300 – freshman Charlotte Lomb, redshirt-senior Victoria Vilarchao, and junior Deanna Grahek. Both Lomb and Vilarchao tallied four hits each with Vilarchao slugging two doubles.
• A pair of freshmen, Hailey Errrichiello and Hayley Wieczerzak, made their collegiate debut in the circle. They totaled 12.1 innings pitched between the duo. 
• In 2024, UAlbany finished with an America East title and a run to the NCAA Tournament.
• Going 14-6 in conference play, the Great Danes were Co-Regular Season Champions and entered the AE Tournament as the first seed. 
• Five active players (2 PA/G & 75% games played or 1 IP/G for pitchers) graduated in 2024. The highly-decorated class included Wendi Hammond (2024 AE Pitcher of the Year), Morgan Petty (2023 AE Player of the Year), Maddi Petrella (2024 First Team All-Conference), Jordan Nastos (2x All-Conference), and Caitlyn Mitros (3x All-Conference). They made up the starting outfielders, catcher, and one of two starting pitchers.
