So long Odicci, Madison, & Kate - good luck!

Moving to 2022.

My Big Questions:
- Will we still have the respect to get an invite to the St.Pete/Clearwater Elite Invitational?
- Will Alissa take a step up from her Freshman year?
- Is Linsey coming back? I know she's was only a Junior, but I think she had a story like was attending another school last year or something????
- Can this team finish in the regular season top 25? Will they start in the top 25, after ending #4?

Key Returning pieces:

Position Players:
Sara Jubas (r-sr) - Highest batting average, and 2nd in HRs
Logan Newon (r-sr) - 3rd highest BA
Linsey Meeks (r-sr) - 5th highest BA, and key to clubhouse
Emily Phillip (r-so) - started every game and batted .268
Lauren Bernett (so) - As catcher started all but one game, and really worked well with pitchers
Hannah Shifflet - (r-jr) Struggled on the offensive side, but started 34 games.

Pitchers
Alissa - (so)'nuf said
Alexis Bermudez - (r-jr) At this point looks to be the #2. 9-1 last year with 2.13 ERA



What "I" believe to be key recruits from recruiting notes:
Isabelle Fishman (IF/Pitcher) Named to the 2021 Extra Innings Top 100 Athletes List…2018 On Deck Jamboree…2017 USSSA Elite Select 30…Member of USA Athletics Team in Long Beach, CA…Member of the Distinguished Honor Roll and Honor Roll

Jasmine Hall (IF) Three-year softball varsity letterman…ranked 74th in the class of 2021 nationally by Extra Innings

Morgan Mesaros (IF) Recorded a batting average of .480 with .550 OBP in 2020…Played for PA Chaos 18U Gold team since eighth grade…Ranked sixth in the country by US Club Rankings and tenth by FloSoftball in 2019 (does this mean she's a top 10 recruit?) Maybe her team was ranked in the top 10?

I'd guess key transfers are certainly a possibility.

And the Key - Loren LaPorte - even keeled leader, and nationally respected Head of the JMU Softball Program.
