STORY LINES

- Binghamton (5-5) was off this past weekend after launching its 2025 campaign at Stetson (Feb. 7-9) and Florida (Feb. 14-16). The Bearcats were 3-2 at Stetson's Tournament followed by a 2-3 weekend in Gainesville.

- Graduate student outfielder Brianna Santos - the America East Player of the Week on Feb. 18 - is hitting a team-best .424. She is followed by junior first baseman Emma Lawson - the America East Player of the Week on Feb. 11 - who is batting .412 with five doubles and eight RBI. Sophomore catcher Elisa Allen, meanwhile, has a team-best three home runs and has also driven in eight runs.

- On the mound, junior pitcher Brianna Roberts is 3-1 with a 1.16 ERA and a pair of complete-game shutouts. She was chosen as the America East Pitcher of the Week on Feb. 18. Sophomore pitcher Delaney Glover - the conference's Pitcher of the Week on Feb. 11 - is 1-1 with a 2.40 ERA.

- Roberts, Lawson, Allen and Santos represent four out of the five Bearcats who were named to the America East Preseason All-Conference team. They are joined by graduate student outfielder Lindsey Walter.
