Fran Carrullo, Central Bucks South, pitcher. Carrullo, a senior, has committed to play for St. John's next season. She was 17-2 last year in pitching the Titans to a second-place finish in the PIAA Class AAAA playoffs.

Jess Tate, Archbishop Wood, first base. Tate is one of the area's top hitters. An all-Catholic League selection for her first three seasons, she batted .519 with five home runs and 25 RBIs last year.

D'Anna Devine, Pennsbury, catcher. A three-year starter for coach Frank McSherry as a second baseman, Devine has moved behind the plate for her senior season.

Morgan Noad, Conestoga, catcher. "Raw power" is the way coach Meghan Brogan describes the junior backstop. Noad hit better than .460 last season and has hit eight home runs in her career.

Ashley Alden, William Tennent, first base. A standout volleyball and basketball player (she averaged 14 points this season), Alden has committed to play softball for Rutgers.

Courtney Clee, Neshaminy, second base. The Redskins senior batted .517 last season with a .621 on-base percentage. She drove in the winning run in a 3-2 victory over Pennsbury for a share of the Suburban One League National Conference title.

Morgan Decker, Central Bucks South, third base. A junior, she is a slick fielder who can hit for power and average. She led the Titans in practically every offensive category last season.

Erica Ragazzone, St. Hubert, pitcher-first base. She had a 3-1 record as the team's No. 2 pitcher last season. In those four games, she struck out 25 and walked one.

Nikki Troisi, Pope John Paul II, pitcher. Once the pitcher for the now-closed Kennedy-Kenrick, Troisi will have a chance to see what she can do against Pioneer Athletic Conference batters this season.

Taylor Shultz, Owen J. Roberts, pitcher. Shultz has proved that she can not only pitch, but hit as well. She was 16-6 on the mound with 130 strikeouts last season. She hit .403 with five homers.

Julie Wambold, Hatboro-Horsham, first base. Wambold is a veteran power hitter for the Hatters, who made it to the PIAA Class AAAA semifinals last season before losing to eventual state champion Mount Lebanon.
