Villa Maria Victors
Softball
Coach (season, record): Brian Leuschen (3rd season, 9-27)
2011 overall record: 6-12
2011 region record (place): 6-12 (seventh)
2011 playoff results: Did not qualify for the District 10 playoffs.
Top players lost: Katie Machalinski, Chelsea Signorino
Top returning players: Katie Leuschen, Shelby Graml, Emily Luteran, Kayla Schlosser, Jacalyn Colish, Elizabeth Nawrocki, Kelly McCall
Assistant coaches: Tom Pochatko, Alyssa Ogrodowczyk
Outlook: Villa Maria could make things interesting in Region 4 this season. The Victors have a talented but inexperienced group of freshmen and sophomores. The underclassmen could play a big role in complementing the veteran upperclassmen. Villa has to replace Katie Machalinski and Chelsea Signorino but the Victors return Katie Leuschen, Shelby Graml, Emily Luteran, Kayla Schlosser, Jacalyn Colish, Elizabeth Nawrocki and Kelly McCall. Graml is an all-region selection while Nawrocki is back from a knee injury. Villa could receive big contributions from freshmen Deshawna Coleman, Maria Colt, Madison Malec, Emma Knight, Stephany Chido and Christine Matson. The lack of depth could catch up to Villa if injuries occur but the Victors will be a tough out early in the season.
