Saint Francis University Athletics

The start of the success of the softball program could be traced back to Stacy Trice’s senior season when the team went to the NEC Softball Championship Game and posted a then program-best 35-17-1 record. Trice, an All-NEC first-team performer, finished her career with a .330 batting average, 172 hits, 20 doubles, 27 triples, seven home runs, 83 RBIs, and 38 stolen bases. She left as the all-time leader in at-bats (522), hits, runs scored, doubles, triples, and stolen bases, while ranking second in RBIs and third in home runs. She is still the all-time leader in triples.  When she left Loretto, she also had three of the Top-5 single-season hits marks, including a program-record 58 hits in 1998. Trice also held the highest standards on the single-season charts in triples (13, 1998), slugging percentage (.625, 1997), and stolen bases (15, 1998). Trice led NCAA Division I in triples in 1998 and became the second Saint Francis Hall of Famer from the softball team.
