Penn State recruit Bree Hanik walks away with head held high for Marist. After everything. ‘Ultimate competitor.'
It was a real stunner. But Marist coach Colleen Phelan was matter-of-fact and stoic about a season that ended a bit earlier than was expected. It was the mention of senior center fielder Bree Hanik that bubbled up strong emotions. Her tears flowed as freely as the words. 'I still feel like she's a freshman,' Phelan said of Hanik. 'I've known Bree since she was 9 years old, coaching her with the Beverly Bandits. 'To watch her grow with the game and grow as a young woman, and to watch everything she's accomplished, I'm so proud of her. She's going to be awesome at Penn State.' Hanik gave it her all on the field Monday as the RedHawks dropped a 5-1 decision to Oswego in the Class 4A Benedictine Supersectional in Lisle. Layla Peters produced the only hit of the night for Marist (35-3) on an RBI single with two outs in the seventh inning. Senior pitcher Gianna Hillegonds struck out nine in 4 1/3 innings of relief. Hanik reached base twice against Oswego and made a highlight-reel catch in center field. 'I want to be one who puts it all out there for her teammates,' Hanik said. 'I want them to know I've got their backs no matter what. I'll make uncatchable catches because I'm doing it for them.' Junior right-hander Jaelynn Anthony struck out six for Oswego (36-2). The Purdue recruit also walked five batters, but the RedHawks couldn't capitalize. 'She was definitely tough,' Peters said of Anthony. 'Throughout the season, pitching can go up and down. We knew coming in that she was going to be one of the better pitchers we've seen, but we were ready to attack. 'We wanted it. We wanted that good pitcher. But she just got the best of us there.' Very matter-of-fact. Very stoic. But like her coach, Peters got teary-eyed at the mention of Hanik. 'Man, I love that girl,' Peters said. 'Bree is the ultimate role model, the ultimate competitor, the ultimate friend. I've gotten close to her the past two years. She has been one of my best friends. 'She really took me under her wing and taught me how to be an impactful player on a big team. She has taught our whole team throughout the year that the little things matter.' Hanik, a four-year varsity player, hit .450 this spring for Marist, which had one of the toughest schedules in the state. She totaled nine doubles, three triples, eight home runs and 35 RBIs. The senior leadership role was one she relished — and did right by. 'Yeah, that was one of my major goals this season,' Hanik said. 'I have always been, like, the baby on this team. So I stepped into a big role this year and kind of last year. 'I know I'm leaving here happy that I made my mark on them.' Hanik burst onto the scene as a big contributor on the 2022 team that finished second in the state. She hit .412 with 13 home runs as a sophomore, helping lead the RedHawks to a state title. Last season, she batted .415 with 12 home runs as Marist took second again. It's been quite a four-year journey. 'I had no idea what was going to happen four years ago,' Hanik said. 'It was insane just being on varsity freshman year and experiencing that with the girls I did. 'One of the best things that happened to me was that I met my best friends, met the best people. I have experienced so many things, and I wouldn't take any of it back. 'I'm really sad that it's over. But I have no regrets.'

END OF THE ROAD: LSU sweeps WVU in super regional
BATAN ROUGE, La. — West Virginia baseball's quest to kick down the Omaha, Neb. door will have to wait another year. For the second straight season, the Mountaineers dropped both games of a road super regional and ended the season one round shy of their first College World Series in program history. This one was a relentless onslaught at the hands of arguably the best team in the country, a 12-5 loss to LSU following Saturday's 16-9 defeat. BOX SCORE 'We never focus on other teams and what they do,' West Virginia head coach Steve Sabins said. 'Couldn't be more proud of our guys.' West Virginia (44-16) hung in for as long as it could, even bringing the tying run to the plate as late as the sixth inning on Sunday night. But LSU (48-15) just had too much offense, too many power arms and made far fewer mistakes as it secured its 20th CWS appearance in the last 39 years. Just like in Game 1, a pair of big innings made the difference. LSU blew the game open early with five runs in the second inning, all after West Virginia starter Jack Kartsonas retired the first two batters on nine pitches. Three consecutive walks loaded the bases, and Steven Milam delivered a three-run double down the right field line. Milam came around to score on Jake Brown's RBI single and after Brown advanced on a wild pitch, a misplayed infield pop-up allowed him to trot home with the fifth run of the frame and sixth of the game. After West Virginia put up four runs in the middle innings and knocked LSU starter Anthony Eyanson out, the visitors had legitimate traction for the only time all weekend. Sam White hit a solo homer, Ben Lumsden popped up with the unlikeliest of homers — just his second all season — to make it 6-3 and White delivered an RBI single in his next at-bat. 'I have great hitters in front of me and great hitters behind me,' White said. 'My job is just to pass it to the next guy.' Just in time for another costly dropped pop-up. The second aerial miscue of the night was the first of three errors in a nightmare seventh inning, allowing LSU to score six times and put the game out of reach, finally delivering the knockout punch after a heroic Chase Meyer relief performance kept the Mountaineers in the game. Chris Stanfield's two-run insurance created initial separation, Milam added another RBI single and Jake Brown belted a two-run home run off the batter's eye to complete the inning. Tally it up for the series and you get galling numbers. West Virginia pitchers issued 17 walks, hit eight batters and committed four errors, far too much help for an LSU team with more than enough talent to win without the lifelines. 'When you give great teams and great offenses additional opportunities or free passes, they answer,' Sabins said. 'We had more walks than what a championship team can do. The walks and hit-by-pitches allowed for baserunners to get on. Our pitchers were consistently in stressful situations.' Stack it up in total for year one of the Sabins era, and the total body of work was unquestionably positive. It was arguably the greatest season in West Virginia baseball history, even building on from last year's success of winning a regional for the first time ever. 'We broke the all-time win record at WVU,' Sabins said. 'We won the first outright Big 12 title in football, basketball or baseball at our university, and this program has never been in back-to-back super regionals. Those were big milestones, and that was something that we're proud of.' But at this moment, the pain was still there. West Virginia just had no answers across two games. Not for the heat, the intimidating away environment and definitely not for an LSU team which showed why it spent a chunk of the season ranked No. 1 nationally. It is on to reflection, transfer portal work and the long countdown to February 2026, as the Mountaineers will begin the Omaha chase again. 'I don't get sad about baseball results,' Sabins said. 'I get sad about the group of people that you work with for a year straight to try to build something special — which this group did — won't ever get to be together again. There is some sort of finality with that final out, that you're not going to get to be with that same group of kids.' If West Virginia ever crosses over those pearly gates of Omaha into college baseball heaven, teams like this one will be responsible for laying the foundation. Not this year, though.

The best ever? Ohio State recruit Christian Teresi and Marist make case with state championship. ‘It's awesome.'
Marist's Christian Teresi wasn't going to argue with his coach. Jordan Vidovic proclaimed that the RedHawks are the best team in Illinois to ever play the sport. After they won their second straight state title, the Ohio State-bound Teresi quickly agreed. 'Of course I want to stay humble,' Teresi said. 'But I'm going to agree with him 100% on that. We went to California and beat the No. 1 team in the nation (Mira Costa). 'I feel like that was a big accomplishment for an Illinois high school. And now we won the state championship again. It's awesome.' Teresi continued his role as an awesome do-it-all player Saturday. The senior setter/right-side hitter produced 14 kills on a .619 hitting percentage to lead Marist to a 25-20, 25-20 victory over Glenbard West in the boys volleyball state championship match at Hoffman Estates. While Teresi added 15 assist and seven digs for the RedHawks (40-2), MIT recruit Nathen Toth tallied 11 kills, Jacob Finley notched 18 assists and Rorey Donnelly delivered 11 digs. Charlie Clifford led the Hilltoppers (36-6) with eight kills in a match that featured 21 ties and four lead changes. But the several times Marist needed a big play, Teresi usually provided it. 'I was telling Jacob, our setter, to keep setting me because they were not stopping me at all,' Teresi said. 'I was just going on a roll and I wanted to keep getting set. 'These are the games where I really want to stand out. There are a lot of people watching. I know we played Glenbard twice during the season, but we knew coming into this game, this was going to be a brand-new team.' It's the second straight state title in boys volleyball, third overall for the boys and third straight for Vidovic, who won in 2024 with the boys in the spring and then the girls team in the fall. Earlier in the day, Marist beat Lane Tech 25-15, 25-19 in the semifinals. Toth totaled six kills and five aces to lead the RedHawks, while Teresi chipped in with four kills and eight assists. Finley recorded eight assists and Donnelly had seven digs against Lane (35-7). Marist then put an exclamation point on a season in which the RedHawks went 30-0 against Illinois teams and dropped just one set — Friday against Lake Park in the state quarterfinals. That had Vidovic excited about placing this team at the top of the state's history list. 'There is no doubt in my mind because we went out and did it,' he said. 'Everybody else is hypothetical and we went out and played the best of the best. We went toe-to-toe with the most stacked high school volleyball teams … probably ever. 'I've been around some great Illinois teams as a player, as a spectator, as a sibling, as a coach, and I've seen some phenomenal teams, but the way the game is played right now, the speed and the way the ball is travelling, there was nothing like that back then.' Teresi closed a four-year varsity career with one more big match under his belt as a goodbye. 'I've never seen a player as compete as Christian — not at all,' Toth said. 'He can do everything. He's super athletic. He's got a wicked arm swing. I really don't know what this kid can't do. 'I don't know how you can go up there on the block and stop him.' About the only thing Saturday night that could almost stop Teresi was a question about if this year's title felt better than a year ago. It was almost like asking a parent who the favorite child is. 'I don't know … I think this year was more exciting for our team,' Teresi said. 'Well, actually I think last year was more exciting because it was our first one. 'But this was better because of us winning last year.'
