The Short Story:

The Ephs traveled to Troy, NY, to face the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Engineers, splitting their doubleheader. Now, with a strong start to their season under their belts, the Ephs are gearing up for their trip to the West Coast and the stretch of non-conference games to come.

Game one was marked by an excellent performance from pitcher Sadie Leonard, who threw a no-hitter. The Ephs offense, led by Sydney Fleming, came alive right from the start, beginning with a four-run first inning.

In game two although Katie Blanch threw a great game in the circle with just two hits allowed, RPI's timely hitting allowed them to push ahead 1-0 in the fourth inning.

Coach's Take:

Reflecting on areas to focus on as the Ephs prepare for their upcoming games in California, Eph head coach Kris Herman commented, "We need to sustain pressure on offense." When discussing the team's performance in the doubleheader today, Herman said: "Well, we want to win every time out and didn't do that. There were a lot of good performances, timely hits and great pitching. To give up 2 hits on the day is pretty special."

Game 1

How it Happened

Sadie Leonard '26 pitched a no-hitter, striking out 14 of the 22 batters they faced.
Sydney Fleming '25 led the Ephs offense, going 4-for-4, including a home run, a double, and 3 RBIs.
Kayla Chang '25 also had a strong offensive performance, scoring twice with two hits in four at-bats.
The Ephs offense came out firing in the first inning. Kaia Glickman '25 singled to first, driving Kayla Chang home for the game's first run.
The team continued scoring in the first inning when Vicky Trujillo Balderas '25 grounded out to first, driving in Sydney Fleming from third to extend Williams' lead to 2-0.
To cap off the inning, Katie Blanch '27 added a 2-RBI single, bringing in Kaia Glickman and Justine Dunaway '27 for a 4-0 lead.
In the top of the 7th, with Alysa DeQuiroz '26 and Kayla Chang on base, Sydney Fleming homered to left field, cushioning the Ephs lead, 7-0.

Game 2

How it Happened

Katie Blanch '27 pitched a great second game, only allowing two hits and striking out 6 of 20 batters.
Despite five hits and a rally in the top of the sixth led by Aleks Albert '28, Williams could not push any runs across.
The game remained scoreless through the first three innings, with both teams' pitching shutting down the offense.
RPI broke the deadlock in the bottom of the fourth when Callista Adorno doubled and later scored on a single by Sarah Decker, putting the Engineers ahead 1-0.
