Keeping It Versatile

During her time at The College, Lena Buccigrossi played three sports - volleyball, softball and basketball. She is no longer at The College, but she is still playing multiple sports. She currently attends Rosemont College in Bryn Mawr, PA. 

While attending Rosemont, Buccigrossi continues to play volleyball and softball. As for basketball, the decision to play that as well is up in the air.

"I do have the opportunity to play all three but I'm debating about basketball right now! My classes are getting harder and three sports is a big commitment," she said. She is currently studying Psychology and plans to focus on forensics in the future. She also studied Psychology at The College.

Even though she is at a new school, Buccigrossi says she misses the Athletics that The College provided to her. 

"No doubt that I am completely happy where I am but I miss everything about athletics at [The College]," she said, " I miss the girls on the teams who were always there for me, all my coaches that gave me endless support and encouragement, I miss it all."

Things are also different when it comes to athletics at Rosemont. "You always run into different coaches with different coaching styles and in the same aspect, you always play with different girls who might need to be coached differently," she said. Despite all this, Buccigrossi says there is one similarity that can be felt with any team.

"I feel like it almost the same anywhere you go, a team of a couple girls working together towards a common goal," she said.

A Look Back at Caitlyn Murray's 2016 Softball Season

Image
Caitlin Murray had her best season as a pitcher for the Carteret High School Ramblers softball team. She had to give herself a pat on the back for the way she played. "I am beyond proud of my self for the season that I had," Murray said, "Going into the season, I wanted to do better than I did last year, which meant I had to put more time into practice to be able to fulfill my goal." Last season, Murray allowed 127 runs and only struck out 52 batters. In 2016, she allowed 116 runs, but reached a milestone of 122 strikeouts. She'll never forget the day she recorded her 100th strikeout. "It was a special day because I had most of my family and friends there to watch me," she said, "but the best part was knowing that on my grandma's first day out of the house after surgery, she came to watch this special moment." While there was bright moments in her season, there were also the dark ones. Whenever we are losing a game, I

The Incredible Story of Audrey Walker

Image
Nine year old Audrey Walker of Campbell, CA is a miracle of God. Walker was born with several medical conditions that caused her to be born without eyes and she had immediate open heart surgery after she was born.  The troubles didn't stop there, however. 10 days after the surgery, Audrey's throat began to close. Breathing became impossible. She once again had to have emergency surgery to remove what her father, Jim Walker, called the "abnormal blocking growth" in her throats that closed it up and prevented her from breathing.  The story begins before she was even born. When Jim and his wife Heather went for the ultrasound, doctors said that Audrey would come out dead or would need emergency life-saving surgery the moment she was born. Doctors also gave her only two years to live if the surgeries she endured didn't go as planned. Jim found a doctor, Dr. Frank Hanley, who could save Audrey's life through a procedure he created called unifocalizat

New York Giants Also a Serious Contender in 2016

Image
(photo credit: bossip.com) The New York Giants are beginning to look like a Super Bowl team once again in 2016. They have three great wide receivers in Odell Beckham Jr, Victor Cruz and rookie receiver Sterling Shepard out of Oklahoma.  They of course still have their Hall of Fame quarterback in Eli Manning and their defense has also grown a great deal. They will Jason Pierre Paul back for the entire season after he missed half of last season after losing a finger in a July 4, 2015 fireworks accident.  They also recently signed DE Olivier Vernon, who recently was with the Miami Dolphins. They also got a huge draft pick with Ohio State cornerback Eli Apple with the 10th overall pick. The offense will sure be a hot one, the defensive line will be one teams will be preparing for and the secondary will be one that will be tops in the league.  The only missing piece to the Giants playoff puzzle is a running back that is consistent, something they have not had since Ahmad Bradshaw.
