Bianco Selected Southern Conference Player Of The Year

May 3, 2022

Lady Sharks third baseman Raissa Bianco was selected as the Southern Conference Player of the Year.

The sophomore had a stellar season, leading the team with 46 RBI, a .428 batting average and 21 doubles. She also had a .577 slugging percentage, 10 stolen bases and two home runs.

Bianco’s strong offensive output was a major reason the Lady Sharks qualified for the State Tournament for a second season in a row. The Lady Sharks were 29-26 this season including a 15-12 record in Southern Conference play.

Miami Dade College starts State Tournament play on May 6 at 1 p.m. versus Pensacola State College in Longwood, Florida. The game will be live-streamed on Florida College System Athletics Association Digital Network.
