Softball senior Christie McGee-Ross has been chosen as the 2023-24 Canisius Female Athlete of the Year, the athletic department announced on Friday.

A native of Cheektowaga, N.Y., McGee-Ross garnered National Fast Pitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-Great Lakes Region Second Team and All-MAAC First Team accolades after she led the Golden Griffins with a .395 average, 41 runs scored, 51 hits and three triples.
 
Starting all 41 games she played in during her final collegiate season, McGee-Ross hit a career-high 10 home runs and finished the season with a personal-best 30 RBI. She also recorded in six doubles, 29 total walks and eight stolen bases. 
 
In the postseason, McGee-Ross recorded six hits, five runs scored and two RBI as she helped lead the Golden Griffins to their fourth straight appearance in the MAAC Softball Championship Game. For her efforts, she was named to the 2024 MAAC Softball All-Championship Team, the third straight season she was named to the championship squad.
