Volleyball Season Preview: Part One

A look at the roster for the upcoming season reveals that Jessica Beckner is returning for her graduate year. 
She currently has 71 appearances between 39 for volleyball and 32 for basketball, which is tied with former baseball pitcher Tyler Isbell and women's lacrosse alumni Rachel Lepine, Kelsey Dover and Leigh Anne Turner.
A seventy-second appearance will tie her with men's soccer alumnus Ilija Ilic, the NCAA-era record holder with 159 points, 64 goals and 31 assists.
A seventy-third appearance will draw her level with JB Charles (men's basketball), Alex Wyper (men's soccer) and Hannah Sacristan (women's lacrosse).
With seventy-four appearances she will equal men's basketball alumnus Bryson Robertson and women's lacrosse alumnus Erika Cross.
She will join men's soccer alumni Macauley King and Val Feeney and softball alumnus Katie-Jo Gentry with a seventy-fifth appearance.
With seventy-six appearances she will join Khurram Shazad (men's soccer) and Meghan McQuade (women's basketball).
A seventy-eighth appearance will equal Frank Adams- who has the second-most points in men's basketball since 2011- and Mikie Rowe. 
She will join Lewis Hilton and Lindsey Caudell with an eightieth appearance and will become the first Mountain Lion in school history to record 80 appearances between basketball and volleyball.
If she appears in ten games this season, she'll join Jeannie Perrucci and Sara Jorgensen with eighty-one appearances.
Sarah Reid has appeared 83 times while Ben Waterhouse has played in 84 games for the basketball program.

Starting a 200 Club: Softball

Jackson Jones is a member of this club as he's appeared 204 times for the baseball team. In this blog post, though, I'm looking to add names to the list and I'm starting with the softball alumni.  Grace Botti appeared 222 times between 2016 and 2019  Murphy Davis appeared 214 times between 2015 and 2018 Sarah Magill appeared 205 times between 2013 and 2016  Chandler Stooksbury appeared 208 times between 2014 and 2017  Jill Torres appeared 244 times between 2017 and 2021 Haylie Shope , if pitcher and first base appearances are separate, had 183 appearances at first base and 34 in the circle for 217 total. We then add 47 appearances in basketball and she appeared 264 times overall between 2018 and 2021 (she's in the 200 club with the 47 basketball games played as she's at 230 without the pitching appearances).  So thus far, this is the 200 Club: Grace Botti Murphy Davis Jackson Jones Sarah Magill  Haylie Shope  Chandler Stooksbury Jill Torres

Women's Lacrosse: Career Goals Update

If the season is over (and if she's not returning for her grad year), senior attacker Ashlyn Fraley will finish up a 71-game Young Harris career with 136 goals, the fifth-most in Mountain Lion women's lacrosse history. Only Nicole Kernohan, Kendra Parenteau, Taylor Greenberg and Ella Hancock have scored more.   *It's worth noting, however, that Fraley is the only person in the top five in terms of goals to need less than 200 shots on goal to get her goals- she only need 199 shots on target, so she scored on an impressive 68% of her shots on frame.
