STORY LINES

- Binghamton (4-14) took three out of five games during a three-day stretch of home contests at the nearby BAGSAI Facility last weekend. Sophomore third baseman Rachel Carey - the current America East Co-Player of the Week - hit a team-best .611 (11-for-18) during the five-game stretch. Freshman first baseman Lauren Payne hit .533 (8-for-15) and was named the conference's Rookie of the Week. Junior catcher Elisa Allen, meanwhile, homered twice last week and drove in a team-best nine runs.

- Payne leads the America East in batting (.475) and is tied with Allen for first place in both home runs (five) and RBI (15). Junior outfielder Maddy Dodig is fifth in hitting (.388) followed by freshman outfielder Megan Wolf in sixth place (.381). Payne ranks ninth (.340) and graduate student Darien McDonough is No. 10 (.339).

- As a team, Binghamton leads the America East in batting (.290), home runs (18), doubles (30) and slugging percentage (.478). The Bearcats are also second in on-base percentage (.378).

- Princeton (7-7) is the defending Ivy League regular-season champions and advanced to the finals of the conference tournament in 2025. The Tigers went 2-2 last weekend at the San Diego Tournament, with victories over Notre Dame and the host Toreros in the process.

- Julia Dumais leads Princeton with a .409 batting average and has homered a team-best three times so far this season. As a team, the Tigers are hitting .315.
