Busy Winter Continues....!

It took a little longer than expected but the Battery Lightning's Kiera Lorenzo '13 finally had her "official" signing day at Brighton HS today 2/7/13.  Surrounded by family, friends and teammates it was well worth the wait as the school did a real nice job helping Kiera celebrate this fine accomplishment. 

Congratulations Kiera!!!


Battery Lightning Gold's Morgan Phillips '14 commits to St Bonaventure verbally accepting an athletic scholarship to continue her academic and athletic career with the Bonnies.  Morgan is a very strong and commanding presence behind the dish with exceptional arm strength.  Offensively she brings a consistent bat and power at the plate.  A leader by example Morgan is surely going to have an immediate impact at St Bonas.  She will be joining Battery Lightning 2013 athletic scholarship athletes Kiera Lorenzo and Des Gonzalez at St Bona's.

Congratulations Morgan!!!


Congratulations Rosie Phillips '13 on her commitment to SUNY Cortland.  Rosie is a multi-dimensional athlete that can do it all (MI, 3B, OF) with excellent hands and speed.  Rosie makes it the second Battery Lightning player in 2 years to join Coach Julie Lenhart (Leah Saavedra '12).  The Red Dragons are a D-3 national power with 18 NCAA appearances since 1984 and 7 NCAA D-3 World Series Appearances including 3 in the last 5 years.

Congratulations Rosie!!!


Battery Lightning's Tori Poplaski '13 has committed to the University of Rochester.  Tori is an excellent athlete with above average speed and strength making her a tough out.  Defensively she pitches and plays the OF with high energy making the most of her athleticism.  Tori joins Coach Margaret Yeardon's program which has excelled in recent years including a trip to Regionals last Spring.  Battery alumn Nina Korn leads U of R in virtually all offensive categories since her Freshman year and was the first Battery player to play at U of R.

Congratulations Tori!!!
