In conference they were 11-9, which placed them in third place at the Southern Conference. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lady Sharks started the season winning seven of their first ten games. During that ten game stretch, however, the Sharks lost two starting outfielders to season-ending injuries: sophomore Samantha Arrastia and freshman Cortney Bunker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This would only be the start of the numerous obstacles the Sharks endured during the season. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the major problems for the team was protecting home field. They had a home record of 9-14 this season; at one point they lost 12 out of 15 home games between Feb. 20 and Mar.4.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pitching was another critical issue in the Shark\u2019s performance. During the season, they allowed 239 runs, despite having a decent ERA of 3.86.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the start of April, the team had a 10-14 record, and only a month remained in the season, which left very little possibility of securing a playoff berth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the final month before the state tournament, the Lady Sharks were able to muster a late season surge, winning seven of their final ten games, barely qualifying them for the Florida College System Activities Association State Tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cI believe the players started to buy into the process,\u201d said Head Softball Coach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/miami-dade-hires-former-lady-shark-gina-de-aguero-to-lead-softball-program\/\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Gina De Aguero<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThey put themselves aside as individuals and did what was most beneficial for the team.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the second day of tournament play on April 30, the Lady Sharks lost against Indian River State College 8-0, eliminating them from postseason play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The leaders for the Lady Sharks this season were sophomores Crystal Garcia and Erin Sundook. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sundook, who played catcher and first base, had 24 RBI, three home runs and a .341 batting average.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Garcia, who played shortstop, had 27 RBI, three home runs, a .407 batting average, and a team-leading six stolen bases. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other notable players included freshman catcher Brook Schwaner and freshman pitcher Louise DiSi. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schwaner had 16 RBI, three doubles, a triple, and a .313 batting average. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DiSi tallied 144 strikeouts, an ERA of 3.05 and had a 16-11 record.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coach De Aguero believes DiSi has the potential to be an exceptional pitcher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLouisa DiSi didn\u2019t have the season that I know she\u2019s capable of having,\u201d De Aguero said. \u201cShe\u2019ll be working hard in the off-season to get healthy, and get her body and mind to where it needs to be.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Garcia, Sundook and DiSi were named Florida College System Athletic Association \u00a0All-Southern Conference First Team.
