Player of the Year.
2009 PLAYER OF THE YEAR: ALLY VRCEK
School: Franklin Regional | Position: Pitcher | Year: Junior
Vrcek is in Franklin Regional's choir. This year, she sang a perfect rune for the Franklin Regional Softball team. Franklin
Regional was the only team to win a WPIAL title this season with a perfect record -- and Vrcek led the way to the Class AAA
championship. Through the WPIAL playoffs, Vrcek had a 17-0 record. She suffered her only loss in the first round of the
PIAA playoffs to finish with a 17-1 mark. A 5-foot-8 1/2 right-hander, Vrcek pitched 116 innings and allowed only 11 runs
(six earned). Her ERA was 0.36. She struck out 205 batters and walked only 18. But Vrcek also was a big factor with the bat.
She had a .328 average with three home runs and 13 RBIs.

MAKING SOME NOISE!!!
TERRELL NO-HITTER HIGHLIGHTS BISON’S SWEEP
Summer Terrell
The victory was BC’s second of the day, as they kicked off their season by holding off Babson for a 7-5 triumph earlier in the day, a game in which Terrell picked up the save.
Terrell relied on a solid defense behind her in notching the no-no. She faced 18 batters and struck out two while walking one and another reached on an error. It’s the first no-hitter by a Bison pitcher since April 16, 2005, when Romney Waters no-hit Thiel in an 8-0 decision which was also stopped after five innings.
Bethany supplied their freshman hurler with plenty of support, highlighted by sophomore OF Chelsea Shenton (Chester, W.Va./Oak Glen), who went 3-for-3 with one run scored. Sophomore 2B Chelsea Butler (Cortland, Ohio/Lakeview) drove in a pair as she went 2-for-4 and sophomore 3B Andrea Thomas (Toronto, Ohio) ripped a triple and scored a run as part of a 2-for-3 effort.
Terrell also played a big role in the first win of the day. Sophomore starter Cortney Newland (Carmichaels, Pa.) took a 7-5 lead into the seventh, but Babson’s leadoff batter reached on a single. Terrell was summoned from the bullpen and promptly walked the first two batters she faced to load the bases. She would settle down to get a pop out to right field and then a line drive to junior SS Ashley Marinacci (Bellaire, Ohio/Bellaire St. John’s), who fired over to first to double off the runner and end the game.
The Bison offense came out of the gate rolling, as they plated four runs in the first and tacked on three more in the fourth, which proved to be just enough. Marinacci was a key cog in the offense as well, going 3-for-4 with a double, two RBIs and two runs scored. Also stepping up was sophomore Alicia Wayne (Follansbee, W.Va./Brooke), as she ripped two doubles and knocked in three.
Two other BC batters had a pair of hits, including Butler and junior 1B Stephanie Shafer (Lancaster, Ohio). Newland earned the win in the circle, her second career victory.
Bethany’s spring break trip will continue Sunday with single games against Pine Manor at 9 a.m. and UMass-Boston at 1 p.m.
Moon Township, Pa. – Freshman catcher and infielder Sarah Capp (McKees Rocks, Pa. / Montour) of the Robert Morris University softball team was honored by the Northeast Conference on Monday as both the NEC’s Player and Rookie of the Week.While playing in Rebel Spring Games, Capp went 11-for-22 as she helped lead Robert Morris to a successful 6-2 showing. The first year player belted her first career home run in an extra-inning 4-3 victory over Bucknell on Mar. 12, and then went a perfect 4-for-4 with a homer, a double and two singles as RMU rounded out the week with a 9-1 win over Maine. During the week, Capp crossed the plate five times and totaled seven RBI, five of which came against the Maine Black Bears. For the season, Capp ranks third on the team with a .367 batting average. She also boasts the best slugging percentage (.633) and the most RBI (seven), while also tying for the team-high in home runs with two. Tomorrow afternoon, the Colonials will host cross-town rival Pittsburgh in a double feature that is set to begin at 2:00 p.m. at the newly completed North Athletic Complex on the campus of Robert Morris University. President Gregory Dell’Omo will be present to throw out a ceremonial first pitch in the inaugural game played at the facility.
