2014 STATS

Take a bow, ladies
Wolverines leave high marks
on CAC & 2014 softball season
Juli Greep
Head Coach


The Wesley Wolverines' ended the 2014 season with a 17-17 record, which is the team's most victories since the 2005 and the first .500 season since 2001.

Wesley, second smallest college in the Capitol Athletic Conference (CAC) – e.g., most school's are 2-1/2 to 5 times its size in undergraduate population -- still found themselves under Head Coach Juli Greep among the leaders in many statistics.

Though the Wolverines played just 34 games (#5 among the conference's 8 teams), Wesley led the league with 18 triples (which also was #12 NCAA national D3 rank), finished #3 with 205 runs scored in the CAC (which also was #84 NCAA national D3 rank), again  #3 with 297 hits, yet again #3 with a .403 batting average, and still again  #3 with a .403 on-base percentage. Wesley was 1 run short among conference teams for  #3 in the RBI category, as well. The team  slugged .449 for a CAC #4 place (which also was #92 NCAA national D3 rank).


Among about 120 conference players or more, Wolverines stood out as individual leaders in stats, too.

FIELDING...

Sophomore #25 1B Samantha Mahoski's (Schenectady, NY) splendid  .981 fielding percentage at first base should be recognized as a conference leader amidst stats difficult to rank.

Lily Engel

KEY SUPPORT...

Freshman #21 C/3B Whitney Dibb's (La Mesa, CA)  10 pitch-hits broke open games in almost every situation.  

Freshman #5 C/1B Alora Wilson (Salisbury, MD) steadily delivered a  trio of doubles to plate runs, while freshman #19 OF Casey Beall's (Severn, MD) base running could be counted on for added extra bases in many hard fought, close games.  

PITCHING...

The pitching duo of freshman #12 P/MI Lindsay Siok (Milford, DE) and freshman #9 P/OF Lily Engel (Dover, DE), accounted for all 17 Wolverine wins,  ranked #7 and #9 in the CAC for individual games won.  

Lindsay's superb  .315 ERA awarded her the CAC's #7 ranking. Lily pitched to a CAC earned run #12 slot. 

Lily also tossed 3 shutouts to finish #3 across the conference in this category. 

Nina Marcano
Kayla Fromal
 Lindsay's tireless arm threw  106.2 innings for #5 in the league. Lily finished #10.

Lindsay also ranked #5 in the CAC with  17 games started and  12 games completed. Lily pitched to ranks of #9 and #8 respectively in these categories.

Lily, catching the plate's corners with pitches, gave up just 10 walks issued, which captured the CAC's #1 post for the least BB allowed (among CAC pitchers throwing 40+ innings.) This also was the  #33 NCAA national D3 rank for least walks per seven innings.

NEXT YEAR...

There's always next year to continuously improve as they always do, year-to-year, for these feisty Wolverines who take so extraordinarily after their ferocious mascot at the plate, in the field, on the bases, and in the circle. 

Watch out CAC, this is a young team, losing just one senior, adding more depth next year, who are posed to spring toward their best season yet!
