Junior Kiki Saveriano

Notebook • UConn returns 13 veteran players and seven starters for the 2012 campaign. • The Huskies lost All-BIG EAST player Julie Towers to graduation. Towers was an offensive firepower who led the team with a .353 batting average while having a .928 fielding percentage. • Connecticut’s top returner is junior hurler Kiki Saveriano who led the charge in 2011 with a 3.59 ERA and a 10-22 record. • Sophomore Andrea Huelsenbeck will be calling the shots from behind home plate for Connecticut bringing a strong athletic presence and knowledge of the game. • UConn welcomes back a strong nucleus of outfielders with five veterans that offer quickness and experience at the positions.

Notebook • Seniors MacKensey Carter and Cara Savarese return to the Hoyas as the only remaining members of the inaugural BIG EAST class. • Carter was selected to the 2011 All BIG EAST Second Team for the second year, and earned BIG EAST honors for the third consecutive year. Carter recorded the most games with more than one hit (12) and also earned GU’s lowest ERA (3.89). She is third all-time at Georgetown in hits (137) and doubles (25) and is second in home runs (14). • After graduating three seniors from the 2010-11 season, Georgetown returns all four of its top run-scorers in Shikara Lowe (23 runs), MacKensey Carter (18), Alexandria Anttila (10), and Elyse Graziano (10). • Lowe returns with the best batting average from last season at .306.

Notre Dame Fighting irish

2012 S c h e d u l e

Sophomore Laura Winter

Notebook

• A historic start to the 2011 season gave light to great things to come for the Irish softball squad. Notre Dame began the season with a 9-0 record – the best opening to a campaign in program history – and went on to win 46 games, the sixthhighest total in 23 seasons. • Notre Dame’s 2011 BIG EAST Conference regular season title was its 13th overall - and second straight - since joining the league in 1996. Notre Dame’s 19 league wins matched the second-highest total in program history. • Returning to the Irish dugout for an 11th season is head coach Deanna Gumpf, who was named BIG EAST Coach of the Year in 2011. • While Notre Dame seeks to replace 2011 BIG EAST Player of the Year Heather Johnson, it may need to look no further than third-team All-American infielder Dani Miller. • Sophomore Laura Winter posted the second-highest singleseason win total with 25 victories from the circle in 2011. Winter garnered national attention after a near-perfect no-hitter at USF in which she walked and beaned the first two batters while retiring the rest for the remainder of the game.

Notebook • In Jay Nelson’s sixth season at the helm of the program, the Scarlet Knights will look to reach their third-consecutive BIG EAST Tournament, for the first time since joining the league in 1996. • Rutgers concluded the 2011 season ranked in the top-50 in the nation in stolen bases per game (23rd, 1.71), doubles per game (28th, 1.43), batting average (35th, .302) and scoring (39th, 5.35). • RU returns a big offensive presence in NFCA All-Mideast Region First Team honoree Brittney Lindley. The senior third baseman led the conference in four offensive categories, in addition to setting the school’s career home run record with 27 blasts in her three seasons “On the Banks”. • The Scarlet Knights lost two-time All-BIG EAST Second Team selection Mandy Craig to graduation. Craig finished her senior season ranked second all-time at RU in RBI (113) and fourth in singles (138). 2 0 11 S t a t i s t i c a l L e a d e r s Batters Brittney Lindley Mandy Craig Mikelyn Messina Loren Williams Lindsey Curran Jennifer Meinheit Kaci Madden

Notebook

• The 2012 Red Storm will look to return to the BIG EAST tournament after a two-year absence. In 2011, St. John’s posted the secondbest winning percentage in the five-year tenure of head coach Amy Kvilhaug. • The Red Storm will feature a solid core of veterans mixed with young talent. Among those returning is 2010 All-BIG EAST second team selection, senior catcher Kacee Cox, who missed the 2011 season with a wrist injury a year after leading the BIG EAST with a .404 batting average. • In the circle, St. John’s will have young but talented hurlers, including sophomore Aleshia Link, who led the team with a 2.55 ERA in 2011. The Lady Johnnies will also feature sophomores Ashley Beza and Myriah Rodgers, as well as freshman Francesca Carrullo. • The Red Storm infield will feature athleticism at every position with seniors Julia Sanchez and Meghan Gwynn, and juniors Chrissy Montez and Dominique Marcelino anchoring the lineup. In the outfield, St. John’s will be bolstered by four-year starting centerfielder Kristi Cady.

Senior Kristen Kaelin

Notebook • The Pirates return four positional starters to the squad, including senior first baseman Kristen Kaelin and senior catcher Nicole Loewenstein, who have been fixtures in the middle of SHU’s lineup the past three seasons. • All three outfield spots are up for grabs after losing Michelle Reed, Nalin Bennett, and Jamie Gates to graduation. Freshman Colltey Sheldon is slated to be the team’s new centerfielder and leadoff batter. • SHU has all three pitchers back from 2011, anchored by starters junior Hannah Hill and sophomore Jen Metzger. Metzger led the team in ERA, while Hill posted the most wins on the team. Junior Brooke Tull joins newcomers Danielle DeStaso and Casey Moses to round out the pitching staff. • Head Coach Ray Vander May is entering his 16th season at Seton Hall and posted his 400th career victory last season.

USF Bulls

Sophomore Kourtney Salvarola

Notebook • After sitting atop the Big East Conference midway through the 2011 season only to end up falling shy of an NCAA Tournament bid, the USF Bulls have been waiting for opening day of 2012. • Nearly interchangable parts, sophomore twins Courtney and Ashli Goff provide an alreadystrongoutfield with a doubledose of top-of-the-order trouble. Both 5-3, both lefties at the plate, both corner outfielders, and both found success as freshmen last season. Ashli hit .349 in 51 games for the Bulls, and Courtney wasn’t a slouch either, finishing 6th on the team in hitting with a .279 average over 38 games played. • The 2012 campaign will be the first full season USF plays in its brandnew USF Softball Stadium. The Bulls moved to their new home last February, christening the stadium with an 8-0 win Feb. 24 against Central Connecticut State.

Senior Kristi Burlin

Notebook

• Villanova is looking to rebound from a tough 2011 season

after losing just one senior and starter from last year’s team. • Senior pitcher Caitlyn Delahaba leads the pitching staff and is tied for the school record in career CGs and is 5th in strikeouts. • Senior Kristi Burlin is tenth on the school’s all-time home run list and is coming off a season where she led the team in hitting (.319), home runs (9), and RBIs (31). • Senior Jamie O’Hara and junior Valerie Ortega will also look to build on seasons where they each hit .308, and helped sustain the Villanova offense. • Head Coach Maria DiBernardi needs just 9 wins for the 700th in her 28-year career at Villanova.
