Sophomore Allyson Frei leads the conference in strikeouts looking (51), is third in strikeouts (166) and fifth in opponent batting average (.219). She also ranks 33rd nationally in strikeouts.

REWRITING THE RECORD BOOKS

Cortez is closing in on multiple Boston College career and single-season records. With 12 home runs this season, she has moved into fourth all-time with 33 home runs, nine shy of the all-time mark of 41 set by Tory Speer (2011-14). The 12 home runs also currently rank as the fourth most in a single season and are four away from setting the single-season mark. Cortez's 121 career RBIs ranks third, only 21 behind the mark of 142 also set by Speer. Her current slugging percentage of .775 would be a single-season record if it holds. Cortez (11) is five doubles shy of setting the single-season record.
Senior Megan Cooley (198) is currently third all-time in hits, trailing Jacqui Goodchild (2001-04) at 221. Her 15 stolen bases this season also increases her all-time leading total to 86.
With 173 career hits, Daulton is currently sixth all time. With 53 hits on the season, she only needs 11 to break the single-season record set by Cooley.
The Eagles' current batting average this season of .278 would rank second all-time.
Frei's 388 career strikeouts currently rank fifth all-time.
Dreswick is tied for sixth all-time in saves with three.
