Team Strengths: Pitching will be at the top of the list with Senior and All State 1st team Mady Volpe back as our number one and looking to increase her amazing stats and overall leadership over the last three years. Sophomore Julia Shearer is our number two pitcher and starting center fielder. Our leadership in the infield and outfield are solid with senior Rachel Lowry and junior Sophia Collins in the infield and senior Carley DiGiuseppe and sophomore Julia Shearer in the outfielder. Catcher Sophomore Sarah Sabocsik has an outstanding arm is quick behind the plate and one of the fastest players on the team. In reality, this could be a team that when all nine starters graduate potentially they could all be playing college softball.”

This year’s slogan is ‘No Excuses’ and with all the work the team has put in since September through the winter months there will be NO EXCUSES."
