Class of 2020 Spotlight: Rutgers-Newark Softball

The New Jersey Athletic Conference honors the seniors across all of our spring sports who had their seasons painfully cut short by the global pandemic, but whose dedication, perseverance, and passion for their sport, their academics, and their institution over the last four years was nothing short of admirable. Thank You Seniors, and congratulations and best wishes to the Class of 2020!

BRIELLE MATTIELLO

"Brielle was a big supporter of all of her teammates. She always brought a positive attitude and never once did I question her commitment to the team. I didn't have the opportunity to coach Brielle for long; however, in the time that I did have, I am proud of all that she accomplished on and off of the field. She is a fierce competitor and a hard worker which was evident this season as she was also a member of the women's basketball squad. Her passion, work ethic, and positive attitude will be missed next year."

---Head Coach Caitlyn Seamster

ALYSSA MORALES

"Alyssa is the ideal teammate and student-athlete. She is a hardworking player and was always there if anyone needed help on the team. She balanced a full-time job, schoolwork, and softball. Her commitment to softball and the team was never questioned. She played a vital role on the team and she will be missed next year. Alyssa is going to do great things upon graduation."
