Led by Ms. Mondadori-Llauget, (a.k.a. “Mondo”), varsity softball has been on fire this season, including beating the No. 1 ranked team in the state and winning counties. Coach Mondo herself was even able to pass another milestone in her career, gaining her 200th win in May.

The team has been driven by a number of players, while key contributors include Sami Huetter, Kate Jencarelli and Bridget Betley have contributed to the Knights success.

“The chemistry of the team allowed us to be very successful,” said junior Alexa Estrada, “We all bonded. We are friendly, help and support each other.”

Betley, a junior, is having a season for the ages. She currently has a .506 batting average along with 36 runs batted in(RBI) on the season. Betley bats third in the lineup and has been a big part of the Lady Knights run production.

But the Knights’ success isn’t limited to the upperclassmen. Freshman Julia Vardiman has provided a strong boost to the Knights lineup this year, batting .381 with 7 extra base hits.

“We have 15 girls on our team this year and all 15 are strong players and contributors to the program’s success,” Mondo said.

“The girls are so much fun to be around, they are so supportive and truly root for each other,” Mondo said. “I’ve been apart of some great teams, but this team is special.”
