CCRI Softball 2012 Outlook
The Lady Knights are striving to repeat as regional champions in 2012 and will play a competitive 53-game schedule. To begin the season, the team will travel for the third consecutive year to Clermont, Fla. to compete at the National Training Center, which is owned and operated by softball Olympian Dot Richardson. Richardson, an Olympic Gold Medalist, will help the team improve their hitting skills. In addition, the Lady Knights will play six games against colleges from Michigan, Missouri, Iowa, New Jersey and Maryland. In April, the team will travel to Pennsylvania for the first round-robin hosted by Mercyhurst North East where they will play seven games against teams from Pennsylvania, Ohio and upstate New York. The Lady Knights are returning seven sophomores led by co-captains Ashley Olson (Coventry, R.I.), the team’s catcher, and Devin Azulay (Attleboro, Mass.), a starting pitcher. Sophomores Jovanissa Perez (Warwick, R.I.), Michelle Sylvestre (Warwick, R.I.), Sarah Siconio (Warwick, R.I.), Kelly McKeon (Warwick, R.I.) and Kate Fowler (Warwick, R.I.) will also return. The sophomores will be joined by nine new freshmen recruits. Kaitlyn Carroll (Coventry, R.I.), a two-time All-State player from Coventry High School, will play shortstop for the Lady Knights. Also playing for the squad this year will be: Melanie Iadaluca (Warwick, R.I.); Isabel Marcaurele (Cranston, R.I.); Marissa Pelkey (Narragansett, R.I.); Kyrie Craig (Warwick, R.I.); Katie Paddock (Providence, R.I.); Natalie Lewis (Providence, R.I.); Leslie Peralta (Providence, R.I.); Kayla Matarese (Cranston, R.I.) and Dara Patton (Cranston, R.I.).
