Darreff best catcher in the A-10—again

The St. Joseph’s softball team has garnered multiple all-conference honors with four Hawks earning individual accolades. Freshman third baseman Monica Aguilar became the first Hawk in program history to be named Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year and was selected to the Atlantic 10 All-Conference First Team alongside junior catcher Brooke Darreff, a Central Bucks South graduate from Hartsville.
For the second straight season, Darreff has proven to be the best catcher in the Atlantic 10, earning her second consecutive All-Conference First Team honor.
Leading the Hawks with a .391 batting average and .457 on-base percentage, Darreff slugged a career-high four home runs, while driving in 29 runs and scoring 15 times.
The 2008 A-10 Player of the Year, Darreff posted an astounding 96 hits the past two seasons, while batting .427. She is currently 20th all-time in SJU softball history with 115 hits.
Senior outfielder Erika Rosenwinkel and senior pitcher Dani Gonzales earned All-Conference Second Team honors. The four award winners bring the Hawks’ all-time total to 32 All-Conference honorees.
As a team, St. Joe's was 22-18 on the season and 8-7 in Atlantic 10 play. This was the second time the Hawks have made the A-10 Tournament under head coach Terri Adams.
