Williamsville North’s Corrin Genovese, left, and Robin Kennery sign letters of intent to play softball at the University of Missouri and Canisius College, respectively, on Tuesday, Nov. 16 in the North gym.Kennery was looking at the University at Buffalo and St. John Fisher College before deciding on Canisius. The Lady Golden Griffins finished 34-19 and lost in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference final last spring.
“Aside from people telling me it’s a good school, when I went there to visit, I felt comfortable,” said Kennery. “Not only do they have a good softball program, they have good academics. They have psychology and I’m interested in psychology. It had everything that I wanted.”
Kennery has excelled at North as a pitcher and second baseman.
Last year, she led the Lady Spartans in RBIs (29) and walks (9) and was a First-Team All-Western New York Large School selection and for the third straight year, an ECIC I First-Team pick.
In her high school career, she has 247 at-bats, 82 RBIs, 14 doubles and 13 triples.
As a pitcher in her sophomore year, Kennery recorded an 18-5 record with five shutouts, two saves, 1.20 ERA, 154 strikeouts and 163 innings pitched.
Kennery will attend Canisius on a partial scholarship.
Also signing a letter of intent was North softball teammate Corrin Genovese, who committed with Missouri.
Genovese verbally committed to Missouri last year and was excited to finally sign with the collegiate softball powerhouse.
Robin currently plays travel softball for the New Era Diamond Girls and Corrin is a former Diamond Girl who still helps out her old team when she is not traveling.
