AVA BAINBRIDGE
C/1B | R/R
Phoenixville, Pa./Spring-Ford
Scouting Report: Primarily a catcher, Bainbridge enters her senior season looking to build on a 2023 that saw her earn a First Team All-Liberty Division nod as a backstop as well as a Mercury All-Area selection. In 2022, she was a member of a Spring-Ford team that won the PIAA 6A state championship under head coach Shawn Corropolese. She intends to major in sports medicine and said that the team's welcoming culture was a part of her decision: "It felt like home from the first time I came to campus," Bainbridge said. "I love the team culture, and everyone has been so welcoming."

JORDYN SKARREN
P/1B/3B | R/R
Aston, Pa./Sun Valley
Scouting Report: Two-way star Skarren has racked up the awards over her first three seasons under Shawn Potter at Sun Valley High School. She's earned First Team All-Ches-Mont honors in all three years and was selected to play in the All-American games at the Colorado Sparkler tournament after the 2023 season.  In that 2023 campaign, Skarren dominated in the circle with 133 strikeouts while posting a .484/.556/.855 slash line in 72 plate appearances. She intends on majoring in criminology with a minor in psychology, and the university's atmosphere was a big reason why she chose Millersville. "The atmosphere surrounding not only the softball team, but the university as a whole is unmatched," Skarren said. "I was drawn completely to the school for its amazing education and athletics."

JAYLEE LOSE
C/1B | R/R
Bellefonte, Pa./Bellefonte Area
Scouting Report: Primarily a catcher while playing under coach Erica DeVinney at Bellefonte Area High School, Lose has been a part of two District 6 4A Championship teams in her first three seasons. Her powerful swing was critical to the Lady Red Raiders' 2024 District 6 championship run; she hit .340 with a .560 slugging percentage and drove in 13 runs on the season. Lose intends to major in sports medicine and was drawn to Millersville because of its campus and welcoming atmosphere. "After the first camp I went to, I saw how well the team got together and knew that I wanted to be part of it," Lose said. "Once I saw the campus, I knew this was the right place for me. Everything felt so welcoming, and it felt like a second home."

CECILIA MCBETH
SS/2B/3B | R/R
Langhorne, Pa./Conwell-Egan
Scouting Report: Like Lose, Cecilia McBeth brings a winning pedigree to the 'Ville after winning back-to-back Philadelphia Catholic League (PCL) championships in 2023 and 2024. That success translated to her club team as well, as she and the rest of the Langhorne Lightning Gold 18u squad emerged victorious at the 18u Nationals in Tennessee. McBeth was named to the PCL First Team in 2023 and 2024 and earned a second-team All-State nod in 2023.  She intends on majoring in manufacturing engineering technology at Millersville. "The engineering and softball programs were a perfect fit for me and my future plans," McBeth said of committing to the 'Ville.
