Horseheads grad Olivia Packard celebrated her senior day in style, on Saturday. In storybook fashion, the UMass softball senior helped the Minutewomen to a 10-4 victory over Ohio, crushing her 1st home run of the season, in what was potentially her final career game. The 2nd inning blast was also Packard’s 2nd career home run and 1st since her freshman season.

The former Blue Raider and UMass catcher closed out the season, going (2-4) with the run and RBI from the memorable homer. In her career, which saw her play alongside sister Abby for 2 college seasons, Olivia totaled 22 RBI, 12 runs, 6 doubles, and 2 home runs on 36 hits, over 85 games.

UMass ends their season with a special victory, despite a (19-30) overall record.
