Blue Wave Softball is Back and Ready for a Strong Season

By Sarah Cattano

After the loss of five solid seniors, Varsity Softball is ready to work hard to achieve its goals for the season. After the Varsity Softball team lost five key seniors last year, current senior and captain Emma Hamilton is looking optimistic about their upcoming season: “We have a lot of great players returning this season- our pitcher, sophomore Erika Osherow and likely second baseman, junior Julia Domiziano is a power hitter. We also have sophomores Kelly Vodola and Avery Maley, who have speed that is very useful on the bases." Hamilton continued: "Although the team lost five seniors last year, the team still expects to be competitive and expects to win FCIACs and go far into the state tournament. Offensively, our base-running is going to be faster and much more aggressive than it has been in the past. We hope to beat old rivals Westhill, St. Joe's and New Canaan.” As far as the seniors go, Emma believes that they will have a solid final season together. “The seniors this year are: Emma Hamilton, Ali Aparicio, Brittany Osborn, and Emily Moscatello. Emily, Ali, and I have been playing together since we were very young and it's been a great experience. Brittany joined in high school but we all hope to continue to improve and build on the successes of the past few seasons.” Good luck to the girls this season!
