Quietly, 1st year Softball HC Ron Shoemaker has done an incredible job recruiting. Last Summer before students were even on campus, he had SIX commitments from '13 recruits. Three from Pennsbury HS who unfortunately didn't get to AAAA championship game. Christine Bascara (1st team All- Area 3b) and Suzanne Swanicke (1b/c) should start from Day 1. Both have good bats. Val Buehler will contribute heavily as a P. Michelle Hagarty from Chicester HS is 1st team All-Area SS and has great bat. Tori Gollie and Marissa Kinneer can play INF/OF and will contribute.
Shoemaker has FOUR commitments already from '14. McKenzie Peace is a high-caliber P from Northgate HS (GA) and Illinois Force ASA. Her HS team is "THE" power in GA HS Softball and travel team one of the better programs in the country. Taylor Rohrbaugh P from Central York HS (PA) is another quality P who also can play corner INF with a bat. She had 140K's in 156 IP last year. Angelina Refice from C B West is a top of the order speedy OF. Valerie Pinheiro is 1b/3b from NJ. She also has 3.85 GPA and 1900 SAT.
Saved the best for last. Shoemaker has landed his first '15 commitment and she's a big-timer. A10 Softball blog calls her a "program changer". Marlo Roadcap is 5-11 LHP from Millersburg HS (PA) and Newtown Rock Gold. Her travel coach was on the Bristol Blazing Angels staff along with Coach Shoemaker. The Blazing Angels won the ASA Gold Championship that year. Only NE USA Team to ever win that title. Her travel coach wants his players to go to "marquis" programs like ACC and SEC programs. This is huge for La Salle.
In case, you didn't see it, check out the interview with Coach Shoemaker. He talks about "changing the culture" at La Salle. I think he gets "it" and seems to have "it".
