Hofstra ace Emma Falen is a strikeout-heavy, big-game left-side weapon in the circle
Emma Falen has emerged as Hofstra’s frontline pitcher, pairing swing-and-miss stuff with durability and poise in pressure spots. In 2025 she went 12-10 with a 3.14 ERA, ranked second in the CAA with 132 strikeouts, and added a no-hitter with 15 Ks; in 2026 she was still dominant, earning Co-Pitcher of the Week honors after 17 shutout innings and a .091 opponent average. The differentiators: she works deep into games, misses bats, and has a track record of neutralizing top conference lineups, making her a strong fit for a team needing an ace who can carry a weekend.
