Sparkill, N.Y. - East Coast Conference Player of the Year Eliana Raposo closed her softball career at St. Thomas Aquinas College with one of the greatest seasons in the 46-year history of the program. Teammates Elyse Marcano and Sarah Clancy also set significant records to enter the program’s all-time record book.

Raposo, Clancy and Marcano helped the Spartans register their third straight 30-win season and reach the semifinals of the NCAA East Regional for the second consecutive year. The team was also ranked fifth in the NCAA’s East Region, the highest ranking ever for the program.

While the team logged another terrific season, six Spartans were able to enter the program’s record book that carries the best single-season and career statistics in 10 categories since 1980.

Raposo, a talented outfielder, set single-season records for home runs (14) and runs scored (52) in 2025 and her 67 hits and 49 RBI were the second highest ever accumulated. Her batting average of .396 is also the fifth best ever. She finished her brilliant career with the most runs (132) and RBI (124) in STAC history. Her 177 hits is the third highest ever.

Raposo was named the ECC Player of the Year for the second straight season and was also named first-team All Region.

Marcano, a junior, broke the single-season record with 27 steals and also became the career leader with 56. She is also now among the career leaders in runs and hits. Fellow junior Adriana Coira entered the prestigious 100-hit club during the season and collected 21 steals, the second most ever.

Freshman Sofia Marella’s first season was very successful. Her 10 home runs rate as the third most ever and her 48 RBI are the second highest total in program history. 

Clancy, who was named the ECC pitcher of the Year for the second straight year, closed her career in impressive fashion. Her 18 wins was the third most ever and 22 complete games rank as third highest career total. She finished her career with 39 victories and 293 strikeouts, which both rank as the third highest in STAC history.

Karen Thorne, a 2008 graduate, is the program’s all-time leader in hits, home runs and RBI. Allison Vickers, who graduated in 2004, is the career leader in complete games and earned run average and No. 2 all-time in wins and strikeouts.
