LI Champion Softball Team Honored by School Board

With the most number of wins among all Babylon School District sports teams, the Babylon High School varsity girls softball team has earned quite an impressive reputation, both locally and on a county level. 

Over the past 13 years, the team has accrued three Long Island championships and six Suffolk County championships while building their overall team record of 227-60, which translates to a winning percentage of .790.

Coming off their fourth-straight Suffolk County championship win, the team was honored by the district during a Board of Education meeting this June. 

Head coach Rick Punzone and assistant coach Stephen Fasciani joined members of the Board of Education and administration in praising the students’ overall accomplishments. Before being presented with certificates of recognition, Mr. Punzone shared a short recap of each team member’s achievements this season and highlighted the integral role they played in the program’s overall success.

This year’s team was comprised of: Gwen Donaldson, Erin Going, Brianna Goodfellow, Michelle Mangini, Nicole Marro, Madison Mugno, Dana Ragen, Miranda Richards, Marisol Rivas, Bridgette Rohl, Alyssa Sasuk, Eileen Savastano, Allie Stanya, Mary Tighe, Cali Walsberg and Kayla Yantz.
