Kari Graziano has been named a Pioneer Athlete of the Week for the week of April 13th, 2026.
Graziano put together a dominant all-around weekend, leading the Pioneers both at the plate and in the circle across a 2-2 week. At the plate, Graziano was one of the most consistent hitters in the lineup, batting .571 (8-for-14) with five runs scored, five RBIs, two doubles, and a home run. She slugged .929 and reached base at a .571 rate, totaling 13 bases while recording at least one hit in every game of the four-game slate. Graziano’s impact extended into the circle, where she earned two wins in relief, going a perfect 2-0 with a 2.80 ERA over 10.0 innings. She allowed just four earned runs on nine hits while striking out six and holding opposing hitters to a strong 1.20 WHIP. Highlighting her weekend, Graziano tossed a five-inning starting effort in an 11-6 win over Geneseo, allowing just five runs while striking out four, before returning to secure another win against Brockport, surrendering just one run over a complete five innings in a 9-1 victory.
Graziano and the softball team will continue their home stand tomorrow afternoon when they welcome Russell Sage to Greenman Field. Tomorrow's doubleheader begins at 3:00.Â
