She finished opening weekend with a .438 average after clocking seven hits – two home runs and two doubles – seven RBIs and three runs with 15 total bases. She also had a .938 slugging percentage and .526 on-base percentage.
In the second week, Knowler tallied four RBIs against Wichita State off two hits, a double and a home run to continue her hot start.
The freshman leads the team in both total bases and RBIs through the first eight games.
Before Clemson, she was the Florida Gatorade Player of the Year in 2021 and was named the SWFL Softball Player of the Year in both 2021 & 2022
