ALBANY, N.Y. – Russell Sage College Softball sophomores Emma Heartquist (Stuyvesant, NY/Ichabod Crane) and Leah Madore (Williamsville, VT/Brattleboro Union) were selected for the 2024 Academic All-District® Softball Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators.
Madore, voted second-team All-Empire 8 Conference, had a record-setting spring in the circle. The righty (10-12) punched out 154 batters across 174 innings, both single-season program records. Madore, who became just the fifth Gator to reach 200 career strikeouts, threw 17 complete games and struck out ten or more batters four times. She led the E8 in strikeouts, innings pitched and saves. As a rookie, Madore earned third-team All-E8 honors.
Heartquist topped the Gators with a .371 batting average and a .438 slugging percentage. The catcher/outfielder was chosen the E8 Player of the Week for the period ending Sunday, May 5. She slashed .538/.846/.571 with five runs scored and two RBI across four games to help RSC (13-22) qualify for the E8 Championship Tournament for the fourth-straight season.
