Each week for the remainder of the spring, the Northeast-10 Conference will honor the seniors from two programs each day as its Teams of the Week, for each player's dedication to their program and teammates.
Coach Carla Campagna on her senior class - "While the AU softball program understands the severity of the situation, we are heartbroken and saddened by the cancellation of our season. This 2020 team was something special, my coaching staff and I knew it. We had 10 new student-athletes join our family and from the moment they stepped onto campus, they knew the expectations, core values and standards of this program. Out of those 10 newcomers, we had three senior transfers that joined our existing three seniors and to see the six seniors not finish competing is what hurts the most. I thank our six seniors for leaving their mark on the program, whether it was for one year or all four years. Adelphi will always be their home away from home.
Our team, coaches and staff have worked countless hours preparing for our season and even with this news, I couldn't be more proud of them. With the mixture of emotions and uncertainty the last week or so, I am very grateful for the love and strength from the student-athletes, Adelphi community, alumni and support staff. Our preparation has already begun for 2021 and I can't wait to get back out to Janet L. Ficke Field together. Every practice we start with a quote of the day so I will leave this year with one, 'When you are thinking about the past or worrying about the future, instead focus your energy on the present moment. The now is where your power is the greatest.' - Jon Gordon."
