33 schools on the east coast and includes 25 teams that are not in the NE-10. 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.

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.

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.
