Bio

Knobeloch was a two-year captain and four-year member of the Red Devils' softball team from 2009-2011 and 2013. She was a three-time All-St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference honoree, and was named to the First Team as a sophomore in 2010.

A difference maker in the infield, in the pitcher's circle and at the plate, she is fourth in program history in home runs with 12 and is 10th in career earned run average at 3.16.

After missing the 2012 season due to injury, Knobeloch came back with a historic 2013 campaign. Her 111 strikeouts that season rank third and her 13 pitching victories rank sixth on Eureka's single-season list. She was also a four-time SLIAC Pitcher of the Week selection. Over the course of her career, Knobeloch helped turn the program around from a low point, culminating with the team's first winning season in 11 years in 2013.
