2024: Gillian Deans broke into the lineup for 30 games with seven of those outings coming as a starter. She had back-to-back games with a hit in the Iona series before registering a season-best two-hit game in a win over Manhattan. She collected an RBI in a pair of games including two in the Manhattan game as well as one more in the regular-season finale against Marist.

2023: Deans made nine appearances during the regular season with eight of those opportunities coming against non-conference opponents. Her only MAAC appearance was a pinch hitter against Mount St. Mary’s in early April. She earned a base hit in her first collegiate plate appearance, a single at Stetson University on February 18. She collected her first extra base hit against the University of Maryland, a double in the second game against the Terrapins. She earned one walk in 2023, drawing the free pass against Sacred Heart.
