Coming off a 14-22 season and a second straight missed conference tournament, the Duhawks hope that their
combination of strong veterans along
with hungry newcomers can lead them
to their first postseason appearance
since 2012.
The senior duo of Katie Serpico and
Holly Klein will provide leadership and
anchor the Duhawks in various areas.
Serpico, an all-region selection in 2014,
has the capability to surpass her numbers from a year ago, when she led the
team in batting average (.370), home
runs (7), and runs batted in (32).
In the circle, Klein returns as the
Duhawks top pitcher from last season.
She had 10 complete games last season
and held opponents to the lowest batting average among the Duhawk starting staff. After a strong offseason of
working with new pitching coach Kevin
Schuchmann, Klein will look to build on
her career-high 55 strikeouts in 2014.
