6-1-09
CALDWELL, N.J. -
The Caldwell College softball team received votes in the final National
Fastpitch Coaches Association Division II Top 25 Poll, released today. The
Cougars, who finished the season with an overall record of 37-18-2, received
seven points in the poll.
This past season the Cougars, coached by Dean Johnson, advanced to
the NCAA East Region Tournament after placing second in the Central Atlantic
Collegiate Conference during the regular season and in the post-season
tournament. Caldwell advanced to the final day of the East Regional against
No. 7 Le Moyne College, only to lose to the eventual region champion
Dolphins. Senior Gina Capardi (West Caldwell,
NJ/Caldwell) was selected to the NFCA Division II All-East Region first
team, while junior Kyrie Timbrook (Los Gatos, CA/Los Gatos),
sophomore Brittany Pulido (Ojai, CA/Nordhoff) and freshman Kelly
Ryan (Woonsocket, RI/Mt. St. Charles Acad.) were included on the
All-Region second team. Junior Danielle Genovese (Livingston,
NJ/Livingston) made the Daktronics all-East Region second team along with
Capardi and Timbrook.
The Cougars, who have advanced to the NCAA Regional five times in the last
six years, lose three seniors from this past year's squad: Capardi, pitcher
Kristen de la Campa (Whitman, MA/Whitman Hanson) and infielder Kim
Aguirre (Highland, CA/San Gorgonio). Caldwell has appeared in the NFCA final
national rankings five times since 2004, when the Cougars finished the year
ranked ninth after winning the Northeast Region title and advancing to the
Women's College World Series.

CALDWELL, N.J. - Caldwell College senior Gina Capardi (West Caldwell,
NJ/Caldwell) was selected to the NCAA Division II All-East Region first team
by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association, the organization announced
today. Additionally, junior Kyrie Timbrook (Los Gatos, CA/Los Gatos),
sophomore Brittany Pulido (Ojai, CA/Nordhoff) and freshman Kelly
Ryan (Woonsocket, RI/Mt. St. Charles Acad.) were included on the
All-Region second team.
This is the second year in a row on the NFCA All-Region first team for
Capardi, who also was a first team All-American at second base last season.
This year she batted .327 with 19 doubles, three triples, two home runs and
31 runs batted in to earn a spot on the all-Central Atlantic Collegiate
Conference first team. Also a Daktronics All-East Region second team choice,
Capardi is now a candidate for All-America honors as a result of making the
NFCA All-Region first team.
Like Capardi, Timbrook made the all-CACC first team and the Daktronics
All-Region second team after a standout season at the plate and in the
field. She led the Cougars in batting average (.364), hits (63), doubles
(19), homers (four), total bases (94), and slugging percentage (.543). Also
an excellent defensive player, Timbrook committed just two errors in 498
chances at first base and catcher for a .996 fielding percentage.
This year's All-Region honor is the first for
Pulido, who has been the Cougars' top pitcher over the last two seasons. A member
of the all-CACC first team, Pulido led the CACC with an earned
run average of 1.34 while posting a record of 18-8 with three saves in 36
appearances. She hurled six complete-game shutouts this year, including
a three-hitter in a 2-0 victory over Dowling at the NCAA Division II East
Region Tournament on May 8. An
excellent control pitcher, Pulido walked just 20 batters in 183
innings.
Ryan anchored the Cougars' outfield in her first season, starting all 57
games in centerfield for Caldwell. An all-CACC first team honoree, she led
the Cougars in multi-hit games (21), stolen bases (16) and sacrifice hits
(16) while batting .312 with 32 runs and 62 hits as the Cougars' primary
lead-off hitter. The strong-armed outfielder also recorded five assists from
centerfield this season.
The Cougars, coached by Dean Johnson, finished the season 37-18-2 and
advanced to the NCAA Division II East Region Tournament for the fifth time
in six years.
THREE COUGARS EARN DAKTRONICS SOFTBALL ALL-REGION ACCOLADES
5-13-09
CALDWELL, N.J. - Three Caldwell College softball players were named to the
Daktronics All-East Region Softball second team, which was announced today. Senior Gina Capardi (West
Caldwell, NJ/Caldwell) and junior Danielle Genovese (Livingston,
NJ/Livingston) make their second appearances on the all-region team, while
Kyrie Timbrook (Los Gatos, CA/Los Gatos) earns her first all-region
award.
Capardi was selected to the all-Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference first
team last week after batting .327 with 19 doubles, three triples, two home
runs and 31 runs batted in this past season. A first team Daktronics
All-American and All-Region selection in 2008, the second baseman also had
15 stolen bases and walked a team-best 29 times. At the NCAA Division II
East Region Tournament last weekend, Capardi batted .333 (5-for-15) with two
runs and two RBI in four games. She leaves Caldwell after recording 135 hits
and 82 RBI in two seasons.
Genovese returns to the All-Region team after making the first team as a
freshman in 2007. A three-time all-CACC first team choice at shortstop, she
batted .320 with 16 doubles and 25 RBI and led the Cougars with 40 runs.
During the regular season, Genovese belted a three-run home run in the top
of the seventh to beat Molloy College, 3-1 on Apr. 4. She also hit a home
run at the East Regional against Le Moyne College on May 10.
Timbrook repeated as an all-CACC first team honoree this year after leading
the Cougars in batting average (.364), hits (63), doubles (19), homers
(four), total bases (94), and slugging percentage (.543). An all-CACC first
team choice in 2008, Timbrook was named the CACC Player of the Week on Apr.
21 after hitting 10 doubles in 11 games. She also committed just two errors
in 498 chances at first base and catcher for a .996 fielding percentage.
The Cougars, coached by Dean Johnson, finished the season 37-18-2 and
advanced to the NCAA Division II East Region Tournament for the fifth time
in six years.

SYRACUSE,
N.Y. -
The Caldwell College softball team lost to Le Moyne College, 7-1 and was eliminated
from the NCAA Division II Softball Regional Sunday afternoon at Le Moyne's
Thomas J. Niland Athletic Complex. The Cougars complete their season with an
overall record of 37-18-2. The Dolphins (43-10) will face Georgian Court
University in next weekend's Super Regional for a berth in the NCAA Division
II Women's College World Series.
Le Moyne broke the game open with four runs on six hits and two Caldwell
errors in the bottom of the third inning. The Cougars scored their only run
of the game in the top of the fourth on a solo home run by junior
Danielle Genovese (Livingston, NJ/Livingston) that made the score 4-1.
It was her third home run of the season. But a solo homer from Jennifer
Farrelly in the fifth and a two-run single by Leah Ford put the game out of
reach for Caldwell, which lost to the Dolphins, 2-1 on Saturday.
Farrelly surrendered just three hits and one run while striking out five to
improve to 18-4. Caldwell sophomore Brittany Pulido (Ojai, CA/Nordhoff)
gave up nine hits in 4 2/3 innings of work to fall to 18-8 on the season.
Senior pitcher Kristen de la Campa (Whitman, MA/Whitman Hanson)
pitched a perfect sixth inning in her final performance for Caldwell. Also
playing in their last games in the Scarlet, White and Gold were All-American
second baseman Gina Capardi (West Caldwell, NJ/Caldwell) and
infielder Kim Aguirre (Highland, CA/San Gorgonio).
The Cougars, coached by Dean Johnson, played in their fifth NCAA
Division II Region Tournament in the past six years. This year's performance
marked the third time that Caldwell won two or more games at the regional,
matching last year's outcome. The Cougars won the 2004 Northeast Region
Tournament and advanced to the Women's College World Series.

SYRACUSE,
N.Y. - After losing to top-seeded Le Moyne College, 2-1, the Caldwell
College softball team outlasted Dowling College, 7-6 in 11 innings to stay
alive at the NCAA Division II East Region Tournament, held at the Thomas
J. Niland Athletic Complex Saturday afternoon. The Cougars (37-17-2) will
play the 12th-ranked Dolphins in Sunday's final round.
With Caldwell and Dowling deadlocked at 6-6 in the top of the 11th inning,
junior Kyrie Timbrook (Los Gatos, CA/Los Gatos) hit a one-out single,
then moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by freshman Marisa Tamez
(Fountain Valley, CA/Fountain Valley). Sophomore Annie Forte (Toms
River, NJ/Toms River North) followed with a clutch double to center to score
Timbrook with the go-ahead run. Freshman pitcher Juliette Wilson
(Dallas, OR/West Salem) gave up a pair of singles in the bottom of the 11th,
but retired the final batter to send the Cougars to the tournament’s final
day.
The game was delayed in the top of the third inning with Caldwell ahead 2-1
due to rain. After the grounds crew prepared the field and play was resumed,
Forte singled home senior Gina Capardi (West Caldwell, NJ/Caldwell)
for a 3-1 lead. Then in the fifth, Capardi, Forte (right) and freshman
Katie Margiotta (Sewell, NJ/Washington Twp.) each drove in runs to put
the Cougars ahead, 6-1. But Dowling answered with five runs in the bottom of
the fifth on a three-run homer by Stephanie Compitello and a two-run shot
from Jackie Hannan.
Wilson (left) tossed seven innings of relief, allowing two runs on five hits
in seven innings to earn the win. Forte and Timbrook each had four hits in
the game, with Forte driving in three runs. Including the rain delay, the
game lasted over four hours.
In
the day’s first game, Le Moyne scored its first run in the bottom of the
third, when Kelcie Cashel hit an infield single that plated Kate Waltman.
Caldwell loaded the bases in the top of the fourth on a double by Capardi
and singles from Tamez and Margiotta. A dropped pop-up appeared to score
Capardi from third with the game-tying run, but Le Moyne forced the runner
at second base to end the inning.
The Dolphins scored another run in the fourth on an error, sacrifice bunt,
wild pitch and sacrifice fly by Jennifer Farrelly for a 2-0 lead. Caldwell
got on the board in the fifth, when a throwing error off an infield single
by Capardi allowed freshman Kelly Ryan (Woonsocket, RI/Mt. St.
Charles Acad.) to score from second base. The Cougars threatened again in
the top of the seventh, loading the bases with two out. But Farrelly, who
pitched three innings of relief, struck out the final batter to end the
game.
Sophomore pitcher Brittany Pulido (Ojai, CA/Nordhoff) dominated the
Dolphins’ lineup, allowing three hits and two runs, one earned, while
striking out two and walking none. Caldwell pounded out 10 hits against Le
Moyne pitching but left 10 runners on base. Jenna Vanacore picked up her
second win of the tournament, giving up six hits and no runs in four innings
of work.
Caldwell and Le Moyne will play on Sunday, May 10 at 12:00 p.m. If the
Cougars win, a second game will be played at 2:00 p.m. The winner advances

CALDWELL SOFTBALL RECEIVES BID TO NCAA EAST REGION TOURNEY
5-5-09
CALDWELL,
N.J. - The Caldwell College softball team will make its fifth appearance in
the NCAA Division II East Region Tournament in the last six years, as the
Cougars received an at-large bid to the regional on Monday. Caldwell
(35-16-2) was a finalist at the Central
Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament this past weekend. The Cougars
will travel to Syracuse, N.Y., and play Dowling College on Friday, May 8 at
3:00 p.m. in the first round.
Caldwell received the No. 4 seed in the East Region Tournament, which will
have two sites. The game between Caldwell and No. 5 Dowling will follow the
day's first game featuring top-seeded and host Le Moyne College and
eighth-seeded Dominican College. Second-seeded C.W. Post is the other host,
and will face No. 7 New Haven, while No. 3 Georgian Court takes on No. 6
Southern Connecticut State in Brookville, N.Y. The winners at each site will
meet in a best-of-three series beginning May 15 to determine the East Region
champion. All eight region champions advance to the NCAA Division II Women's
College World Series, held at the James I. Moyer Sports Complex in Salem,
Va., May 21-25.
Caldwell was looking for its fifth CACC Tournament title in six years last
weekend, but fell short, losing to Georgian Court in the championship game,
2-0. Sophomore pitcher Brittany Pulido (Ojai, CA/Nordhoff) pitched
two shutouts on Thursday and did not allow a run in five innings in a 7-0
victory over Bloomfield in Saturday's elimination game to earn a spot on the
all-Tournament team. Juniors Danielle
