ALL-AMERICAN SCHOLAR ATHLETES Kaley Marden, Arianne Tedeschi and Kristie Vitulli were all recognized last year by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association as scholar-athletes. Student athletes must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 in order to be eligible. MARDEN’S MIND RECOGNIZED AGAIN Kaley Marden’s diligence in the classroom also earned her a spot on the Northeast-10 Conference Softball All-Academic Team last year. NICE TO KNOW YOU Kaley Marden and Julie Muscarella both exhausted their eligibility at the conclusion of last year. Marden hit .353 as a senior and led the team among players with at least 50 at-bats with 14 doubles, two home runs, 36 RBI and a .543 OBP. Muscarella, an outfielder, hit .223 with nine doubles and 20 RBI. A STRONG VETERAN PRESENCE Southern Connecticut has 21 student-athletes returning from last year’s team that finished with a 19-18 mark. Among those are Nicole Buch, Sarah Koerner, and Danielle Piazza, all of whom batted over .300 last year. CONFERENCE RANKINGS Buch, Koerner, and Marden finished last season among the conference and national leaders. Buch’s on-base percentage (0.528) was best in the conference and 27th in the nation, her batting average (0.402) was third in the conference, and her walks per game (0.73) were first in the conference and ninth in the nation. Koerner’s on-base percentage (0.471) was fifth in the conference, her stolen bases per game (0.47) were second in the conference, and her walks per game (0.67) were second in the conference and 17th in the nation.
