SPARKILL, N.Y. – STAC Softball Head Coach Kristen Sullivan announced the addition of seven new players on Tuesday, including two talented transfer students.

The new recruits, who hail from five different states, figure to help sustain the Spartans’ momentum after logging the most successful season in program history. In 2021, STAC posted 24 wins and reached the East Coast Conference championship round for the first time in the program’s 41-year history.

“This recruiting class will fortify the team with a wide diversity of skills,” said Sullivan. “We will return several key players and the recruits will help fill some important holes. I’m very pleased with the talent we’ve accumulated in the recruitment process.”

Here are profiles of the newest Spartans:
