ROCHESTER, N.Y. - The SUNY Geneseo softball team saw its season come to an end on Friday morning, falling to St. John Fisher in their second game of the Empire 8 Tournament. The Knights conclude their 2025 season with a final record of 28-12, their most wins since the 2022 season.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

• Kaitlyn Schmitz and Ray Schumacher picked up back-to-back singles in the first inning to put two runners on, but Geneseo was unable to capitalize. In the bottom of the second inning, the Cardinals were able to put two runners on of their own, but Schmitz and the Knights defense worked their way out of the jam.
• With the score still tied at 0-0 entering the bottom of the fourth, St. John Fisher was able to break through the defensive battle and take a commanding 10-0 lead.
• Geneseo continued to fight and try to make a comeback in the top of the fifth, with Gabriella Petroski and Bella Nadzan picking up a single and a double to get the rally started. Brooke Fraas picked up an RBI single to score Claire Kubiak, who pinch ran for Petroski, then Schmitz added a sacrifice fly. Unfortunately, the rally ended there for the Knights and they fell 10-2.
