- Keuka College faced Wisconsin-Stevens Point for the first time. It was also the first time they faced any team from the WIAC
- With the Pointers being ranked 16th in the country, the Wolves had their first ranked opponent since the 2021 season. Keuka College is 2-18 against nationally ranked teams
- Flynn and DeMoney each had a pair of hits against St. Lawrence
- Hailey Jasinski had a hit against St. Lawrence but did not record one against Stevens Point. It was the first game this year for the sophomore without a hit. Dating back to last season, she tied her career-high with an 11-game streak, and also tied for sixth-longest in program history
