Charlotte Softball Niners Win 40 Games The 49ers compiled a great 2010 season in which they won 40 games for only the third time in school history, including 15 wins in conference play. Charlotte reached the 40-win plateau for the first time since the 2006 season, when it won a school-record 42 games, and the 15 league wins is the second-most conference victories all-time. Third Place in the Atlantic 10 The Niners went 15-5 last season in the Atlantic 10 conference and finished the regular season in third place behind NCAA Regional participants Massachusetts and Fordham. From April 11 - May 1, Charlotte won 10 consecutive conference contests. Emily Jeffery Goes Out on Top Former Niner capped her Charlotte career with a tremendous 2010 season, setting new singleseason records in wins (18), strikeouts (342) and shutouts (12). Her 342 strikeouts shattered her former record of 294, which she set in 2009, and the 12 shutouts tops her 2009 school record of nine. She also posted an ERA of 1.39 last year, the sixth-best single-season ERA in the Charlotte record books. In a game against South Carolina, Jeffery recorded 17 strikeouts against the Gamecocks, setting a school record. Jeffrey ended her career as the all-time leader in strikeouts (782) and shutouts (26) in Charlotte history. The Matthews, N.C., product owns almost 200 strikeouts more than second-place Kirtsen Bowen, who racked up 584 whiffs in her tenure. She also ranks third in career wins (64) and ERA (1.72) For her efforts, Jeffery earned second-team NFCA All-Mid Atlantic Region and second-team All-Atlantic 10 honors. Powerful Senior Seasons Joining Jeffery with a strong senior campaign, Serena Smith hit .332 with seven home runs and 51 RBIs, while starting all 58 games in 2010. The 51 RBIs mark a school record and her seven homers is tied for fourth all-time. Smith’s profilic career is littered all over Charlotte’s record books, as she owns the most career RBIs (126), the fourth-highest batting average (.342) and is tied for sixth all-time with 11 career home runs. Last season, Smith collected second-team NFCA All-Mid Atlantic Region and second-team All-A10 recognition. Fellow outgoing senior Keri Palma garnered first-team All-A-10 accolades, as she hit .279 and drove in 20 runs on the year, while starting at shortstop in 52 games. Stolen Bases Whitney Williams joined the broken record foray in 2010, stealing 40 bases in 44 attempts, including a four-swipe game against George Washington, which matched a single-game school record. The 40 thefts passes former Niner Sarah Malene’s standard of 36, set in 2009. Williams now sits in third in all-time stolen bases, three shy of second place and 13 short of tying Sarah Malene’s career record. All-Atlantic 10 Freshman Sophomore Briana Gwaltney became the fourth Charlotte player to be named to the Atlantic 10 All-Freshman squad last year, and the first since Williams earned a spot on the team in 2008. Gwaltney started all 58 games in her rookie campaign, batting .271, hitting four home runs and driving in 25. She ranks fifth in RBIs, fourth in home runs and fifth in doubles among freshmen all-time in Charlotte history. Home Perfection D.L. Phillips Softball Complex proved to be an insurmountable place to play during conference season last year. A year after winning 21 games at home, the Niners topped that mark with 22 overall victories in 2010, third most in program history, and did not lose a conference game at home, winning all 10 league bouts at D.L. Phillips Softball Complex. The Niners also swept in-state rival NC State at home, out-scoring the Wolfpack 9-3 in the two games. Answering the McCall Kendra McCall led the squad last year with a .355 batting average, a mark that ties for third in the Charlotte record books in a single season. The average ranked third in the conference last year. Along with the batting average, McCall hit one home run, plated 15 RBIs and stole 18 bases. Charlotte’s Charitable Efforts The Niners not only kept busy with practice and workouts this offseason, but also with several community service projects. Charlotte took part in numerous charitable campaigns, including the Stroll for Epilepsy, Operation Christmas Child, volunteering at Harrisburg Elementary School and the RAD program. At the Fall Stroll for Epilepsy on Nov. 6, the softball squad participated in the walk, along with signing autographs and manning some of the games and activities. With Operation Christmas Child, the team filled shoeboxes with necessities, toys, and candy for kids who are less fortunate across the world as a Christmas present. Every week, a contingent of the squad volunteers at Harrisburg Elementary School, reading and helping the kids with school work for a couple of hours. The squad also partook in the four-week RAD Training Program offered on campus, helping out with various self-defense methods taught in the classes. In the spring, the Niners participated in Samaritan’s Feet, a non-profit organization dedicated to giving shoes to impoverished children around the world, and invited sevenyear old Dominick Moye, a patient at the Hemby Children’s Hospital undergoing chemotherapy treatment for acute myeloid leukemia, to be a batboy in 2012. The Four Newcomers Charlotte welcomes four newcomers to the squad this year. Chelsea Ingersoll (Charlotte, N.C./Butler H.S.) is a two-time All-State catcher/ infielder, who was named 2009 4A Southwest Catcher of the Year. Kalie Lang (Charlotte, N.C./Northwest Florida State College/Ardrey Kell H.S.) comes to Charlotte as a pitcher/first baseman after hitting .277 with four home runs and 24 RBIs last year with the Raiders. Jalisa Rock (Montbello, Calif./Cantwell Sacred Heart of Mary) an infielder from out west, earned league MVP honors twice in high school and led her team in home runs all four years. Katie Watkins (Nightdale, N.C./East Wake H.S.) claimed all-conference honors all four years in high school. 2010 Season In Review
