🏆 ATHLETE OF THE MONTH: ⚾ Baseball – James Sobkowiak

James Sobkowiak has been dominant on both sides of the game this season. On the mound, he has thrown 17 innings, posting a 1–1 record with 32 strikeouts, only 2 walks, and an impressive 1.64 ERA.

At the plate, James has been just as impactful, batting .395 with a team-high 13 hits. His consistency, competitiveness, and ability to perform in key moments make him a true difference-maker for our program. 💙🤍

🏆 ATHLETE OF THE MONTH: ⚽ Girls Soccer – Mallory Crowley

Mallory Crowley, a senior captain and returning WSC All-Conference defender, has embraced her leadership role and set the tone for the team through both her play and presence. Anchoring the back line, she competes with outstanding composure under pressure while consistently organizing and communicating with those around her.

Her ability to read the game, maintain defensive structure, and lead vocally has been instrumental in the team’s early success. More than her individual performance, Mallory leads by example—raising the standard every match and building a foundation of confidence and discipline for the entire group. 💙🤍
