Sophomore pitcher Warner (Binghamton, NY/Chenango Forks) led the team with 13 doubles and 22 RBIs enroute to a .383 batting average to go with 8 stolen bases. Warner was also a force on the mound, pitching 119 innings and striking out 84 of her opponents. Sophomore Finch (Kirkwood, NY/Susquehanna Valley), a mainstay at short the last two years, hit .315 with 3 doubles and 8 stolen bases, but it was her magical plays in the field that robbed opponents of hits and her leadership that proved invaluable over the past two seasons.
In his second season as head coach for the Hornets, Huggler went from a 4-22 season to this year's 14-9 record and the Hornets' first Region III playoff in 5 years.
