PLANT CITY, Fla. - Senior Emily Knowlden continued her hot start to 2019 with five more hits on Friday afternoon, but the Oswego State softball team was shut out by The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) and New York University (NYU). It was the Lakers final games of their spring break trip.

• Angela Frampton and Rebecca Vilchez each reached base by virtue of a walk.
• In the NYU game, Knowlden went 3-for-4 at the plate to lead the Lakers.
• Senior Erin Sweeney was 2-for 4 and Jenna Gotte smacked a deep double that just missed clearing the fence.
• Jessica Annello (0-1) led the Laker pitchers with a pair of strikeouts and Vilchez went two innings without yielding a run.
• Knowlden finishes Oswego's southern trip hitting .533 and has already collected more hits (16) than she had in all of 2018.
