Hackettstown, N.J. (5/3/2024) - Fourth seeded Gwynedd Mercy University (16-25, 5-9) traveled to top seed Centenary University (N.J.) (27-12, 10-2) for POD A postseason competition of the 2024 Atlantic East Conference (AEC) Softball Championship Tournament. The Griffins took on #6 Cabrini University (10-16, 4-8) in game one and the hosting Cyclones in game two; in game one, senior pitcher Jocelyn Baumeister (Willow Grove, Pa.) started in the circle for the Red and Gold, but only went two innings with a final stat line of; 2IP, 9H, 7ER, 2BB, and 2K in the 10-5 loss (6-6). In game two, junior pitcher Emily Murphy (Philadelphia, Pa.) tried to keep Gwynedd Mercy's season alive; she held the high-power Cyclones offense to only four runs, but the Griffins offense could not keep their end of the deal in an eventual 4-2 loss.

  • Cabrini scored nine unanswered runs, but in the bottom of the fourth inning sophomore catcher Camryn Kinney (East Stroudsburg, Pa.) stopped the bleeding with a single bringing home Baumeister; 4-9. 
  • Down 10-4 going into the final inning, sophomore shortstop Hannah Smith (Levittown, Pa.) singled home junior outfielder Ally McDaid (Maple Glen, Pa.); 10-5.
