The team was lucky to have lots of help guiding the team. Leading the charge were the team’s seasoned seniors, including Kayla Ciolino, a reliable presence in the outfield; Isabella LaGuardia, Betty Murrieta, Isabella Ciaccio (IF/C); Helayna Stamm (IF/P); and Athena Fairley (OF/IF). Their leadership helped steer the younger players through a challenging but rewarding season. Saddle Brook also saw strong contributions from Emily Escobar (P/IF) and Gabriella Bruce, two of the team’s key juniors, who provided consistency in the lineup and on the softball field.
Sophomore Grace Wien took big steps forward in the pitcher’s circle, while Ava Habermann and Maria Heller emerged as impact players among the underclassmen. The freshman class made a strong first impression as well, with Ava Leto, Angelina Young, Ava Zuccaro, Isabella Pena, Gabriella Liberti, and Cate Mouser all gaining valuable varsity experience. Though the Falcons will graduate a core group of seniors, the experience gained this year by the underclassmen creates a solid foundation for future success. With rising talent and returning leadership, Saddle Brook softball is poised to be a contender in the seasons ahead.
