UPPER MORELAND SOFTBALL PREVIEW
Head Coach: Melanie Martino 5 years
Assistant coaches: Jaclyn Martino UM CLASS of 2020 and Haleigh Woodman UM class of 2023
2024 PIAA record 14-5, Freedom Division record 8-3, Co champs 2024
Notable losse: All of our seniors from last year were key players in our program and will be missed - Kaylee Brown catcher, Makenzie Leo DH, Eowyn Stainback pitcher and Ava Bailey OF
Key returning players: Seniors Stephanie Jones CF and our leadoff hitter, Kelly Bates LF, Joslyn McCellan RF and our four hitter to start the season, Erin Distel 1st base, Lianna Adames SS, and our returning sophomores Claire Walton 3B and Pitcher Delaney Stout. All of our returning players started last year and were incredibly consistent. They have worked hard in the offseason and have set big goals for themselves and the team, led by captains Lianna Adames, Kelly Bates and Stephanie Jones. Creating a positive championship team culture has been a priority, and the captains have been an integral part of that. Junior Melissa Torpey 2B and freshman Sofia Magagna Catcher will also be starting for us, and I expect both of them to contribute to the success of our season.
Outlook: “Looking ahead to the season, Delaney has come back stronger than ever in the circle with a drive to excel for her team is unmatched. We are very excited about the 2025 season, and the coaches and I are looking forward to watching these athletes have the season they are striving for.”
