With the second A-10 honor of his career, Mathes is second on the team with an average of .345, 77 hits, 13 doubles, four triples and 52 RBIs. He leads the team with nine homers, including a grand slam, and seven stolen bases. On the mound this season, Mathes is 2-2 in seven appearances with a 3.38 ERA, allowing 17 runs, 16 earned, on 26 hits in 40.0 innings to keep opposing batters averaging 1.82.

He is third on the team with 39 RBI and 22 walks, fourth with 64 hits and fifth with a .309 average. His 64 hits eclipsed UR’s freshman year mark of 58 in 46 games, set by Kyle Adams in 2015. Elbeery scored his first college home run with a 3-hit home run against William & Mary (2/22). He earned A-10 Rookie of the Week honors (4/18-4/24) after going 10 of 19 at the plate with five RBIs and four runs scored.
