Schoff struck out 72 and issued just 14 walks on the year. He saved his best for last, striking out 19 and issuing just three walks over 15.0 scoreless innings in his last two starts. Schoff's first-career NEC Tournament start will go down as one of the best in program history as he struck out a career-high 10 and allowed just three hits over 8.0 scoreless innings. He finished his career with a 9-5 record and a 4.61 ERA in 125.0 innings.
