The SUNY College at Brockport softball team completed its record-breaking season reaching the North Region Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Softball Championships before losing to Springfield, 4-1. The Golden Eagles finished the year with a school-record 30 wins (30-15), shattering the previous mark of 25 wins which was set during the 1997 season when Brockport advanced to the NCAA East Regionals and finished third (25-9).

The Golden Eagles advanced to the double-elimination semifinal and championship round in Springfield, Massachusetts, by defeating the Clark University Cougars, 3-2, in the preliminary round of the eight-team championship at Brockport on Wednesday.

On May 12, Brockport played back-to back 11 inning games, edging Williams College, 2-1, in the opener before dropping a 1-0 contest to Springfield. The Golden Eagles came back on May 13 to post a 2-0 victory over Williams before losing to Springfield, 4-1, in the championship game.

Sophomore Kristen Clark (Hilton/Hilton) produced her usual heroics, pitching all 43 innings for the week. The right-hander scattered 33 hits and allowed just seven earned runs while striking out 21. Clark finished the season with a school-record 19 wins (19-9), giving her 29 in her two-year career. The 2001 All-SUNYAC selection also broke single-season records for ERA (0.87), games (33), innings pitched (200.1), fewest runs/IP (.125), strikeouts (188), and strikeouts/IP (.939). On March 14, in Florida, Clark struck out 14 batters to break the single-game school record of 11, which was set in 1998.

Brockport will return seven of the nine starters and 14 and 17 players on the roster next year. The Golden Eagles lose the services of All-SUNYAC selection Amy Hargather (Churchville/Churchville-Chili), Price, and Christine Santore (Webster/Webster). Hargather hit .354 as Brockport's starting right fielder, hitting two home runs and seven doubles. Price, the team's starting left fielder, hit .318 and had a team-high 10 sacrifices. Santore hit .276 as a reserve outfielder over 25 games.

Along with the sophomore duo of Clark and Comtois, Brockport will return freshmen Sara Hinrichs (Hamlin/Brockport).
