Shamrock softball coaches Jocelyn Rockey and Keelie Honsowitz said, “Carly plays pitcher and centerfield positions for our Varsity Softball team. Carly signed with Northwood University to play softball next year and will play outfield for NU. Not only is Carly an exceptional softball player, she is also a leader at practice, during games and is a student of the game. She seeks out extra work in her free time and applies her outside lessons to her everyday presence on the field. Carly has played 4 years of Varsity softball and has help build the program to where it is today. Carly recently used her senior capstone project to work with Bella Meyers and build a rosary garden behind our softball field. Carly is currently batting .480, and pitching remains 4-0. Last year Carly was a first team All-league player and awarded as an all-state outfielder.”
