REWRITING THE RECORD BOOKS
- Cortez continues her ascent through the Boston College career and single-season record books. Her 34 career home runs has her in fourth all-time, eighth shy of the all-time mark of 41 set by Tory Speer (2011-14). The Houston, Texas, native's 13 home runs this season are tied for third-most in a single season and three away from setting the record. Cortez's 125 career RBIs rank third, only 17 behind the mark of 142 also set by Speer. Her current season slugging percentage of .770 would rank first all-time if it holds. Cortez (13) is also three doubles shy of setting the single-season mark.
- Senior Megan Cooley (205) 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 182 career hits, Daulton is currently fifth all-time. With 62 hits on the season, she only needs two more to break the single-season record set by Cooley in 2014.
- The Eagles' current batting average this season of .289 would be a school record if it holds.
- Frei's 407 career strikeouts currently rank fifth all-time.
- Dreswick is tied for sixth all-time in saves with three.
