Seniors: George Washington

Ali Pardo

Ali Pardo: after recovering from an injury that she suffered in 2009, Pardo built upon her 2010 campaign to help the Colonials to a solid season under 1st year Coach Stacey Schramm. Pardo provided valuable depth in the circle behind Kara Clauss and Heidi Penna and she saw some important innings when Clauss went down with an injury. Pardo picked up her 2nd career win over George Mason this year, which broke the Colonials seven game losing streak. Pardo also picked up a win in her freshman year over NC Central. Pardo also opened up the George Washington pipeline from Florida, which has helped the Colonials score some pretty players over recent years. Pardo has also been a stud off the field as well, which can be read in this story.

Katie Terrazas: as a four year starter Colonials, she saw the squad go through ups and downs, but she really finished her career in a strong manner, as she was named the 2011 team MVP of George Washington. Terrazas started her career out well by hitting .298 with 1 HR and 13 RBI, while starting all 39 games at shortstop. In her sophomore year, Terrazas' average went down a little bit, but her power numbers shot up, as she hit 5 HR with 18 RBI. That homerun total is one of the best in Colonial history. Much like the rest of her team Terrazas' numbers dropped in 2009, but she was really able to turn things around for her senior season. Terrazas had her best season and she played an instrumental role in George Washington's turn around in 2011. Terrazas hit .304 with 42 hits and 12 RBI. Terrazas stepped up as a leader for the Colonials and she really bought into the changes that Coach Schramm brought to the program. Coach Schramm really had to change the entire mentality of George Washington softball and she had a lot of help from her senior leader. Terrazas will be missed, but she has helped lay a solid foundation for future Colonial squads.
