Female Student-Athlete of the Week
Anna-Marie Groskritz, Rider, Softball
Gr./ Granby, CT, Granby Memorial
 
Groskritz was named to the 2025 MAAC All-Championship Team after an impressive run through four appearances in the tournament, not allowing an earned run over 22.2 innings pitched, including a no-hitter vs. Iona in the winner's bracket semifinals. She also shut out Quinnipiac in the opening round and the only run to score in the winner's bracket final was unearned in 7.2 innings pitched. For the tournament, she won two games and didn't allow an earned run, while limiting the opposition to nine hits and five walks, striking out 18 batters. Opposing hitters batted just .118 against her. The stellar tournament run lowered her season ERA to 2.25 and she finished with 140 strikeouts, easily surpassing her prior single-season high of 81. Groskritz's ERA in the tournament wasn't the only unblemished mark to her credit, as she carried a perfect 4.0 GPA into the Spring in pursuing her MBA.
