News and notes

La Salle has officially announced its freshmen class for this season: Alicia Aughton, Kristin Travers, Linnette Seidler, and Alyssa Bitsimis.

St. Bonaventure may be updating its softball facilities in the future! Due to St. Bonaventure unique northern location, a turf field would make the most sense, funds permitting.

St. Joseph's has released its 2012 schedule though its tournament games still need to be finalized. It is a good looking schedule for a team with a lot of returning players and it gives the Hawks a shot at an at-large bid if they perform well.

The Brakettes won the 3rd Annual Women's Major Softball Championship in Stratford, CT this past weekend. Former UMass great Brandice Balschmiter shared the award for outstanding pitcher with LSU's Rachele Fico and incoming Fordham freshman Brianna Turgeon was named the top defensive player in the tournament.
