Hood crafted a .636/.636/1.091 slash line during a four-game week for Saint Francis. The freshman infielder was on top of her game in the Red Flash’s weekend series against LIU with a .778 batting average (7-for-9) and 1.333 slugging percentage over the weekend. Recording a pair of doubles while adding one homer, Hood accounted for six of her team’s 14 runs in the series with five RBI and one run. She had a big outing in the opening game of the series on Saturday. Registering a solo shot to cap a third-inning rally that saw Saint Francis score three times, she launched a two-run double in the seventh frame to pull her team within three after it trailed by as many as 10. In her first season in Loretto, the New Castle, PA native is hitting .317 with 40 hits, six doubles, two triples, a pair of homers, 23 RBI and 12 runs. With her third NEC Rookie of the Week honor, Hood is tied with Central Connecticut first-year player Stella Gasper for most in the circuit in 2026.
