St. John Fisher University Athletics

Lindsey Thayer (St. Lawrence/Winthrop, N.Y.) of the nationally-ranked St. John Fisher College softball team has been named the College’s Female Athlete of the Week after a record-setting week as the No. 10 Cardinals went 6-0 including four wins in conference play. 

Thayer threw two no-hitters last week including her first-career perfect game and notched her 1,000th career strikeout on Saturday.  On Friday, Thayer tied an NCAA Division III record with 21 strikeouts in seven innings as the junior blanked Nazareth College.

Against Keuka on Tuesday, she had 18 strikeouts over seven innings and allowed just one walk.  After notching 21 Ks on Friday, the Winthrop native was even better in the circle against Alfred on Saturday as she combined to throw nine perfect innings including a perfect game in the nightcap with 17 more strikeouts. 

On the week, Thayer went 3-0 with no runs, three hits and 60 strikeouts in 23.0 innings of work.

Thayer and the rest of her teammates will take on the University of Rochester in a non-conference doubleheader on Tuesday afternoon.  First pitch is slated for 3 p.m.
