4 #4DIM 2019 UIW SOFTBALL STORYLINES DYNAMIC FRESHMAN RENEE HOFFMAN MAKING EARLY IMPACT Renee Hoffman became the second true freshman to start at pitcher on Opening Day in as many years under coach Joe DiPietro, and in her first appearance went six innings without surrendering a walk against Fordham.

She also retired 12 of the last 15 hitters she faced, while recording a base hit in her first career at-bat in the same game. Hoffman is one of two Cardinals who have recorded an extra-base hit after one weekend of play and leads the team in innings pitched with 12. Her 5:3 strikeout-to-walk ratio is best on the team.

ANGEL IN THE INFIELD: VILLANUEVA PROVIDES OFFENSIVE SPARK Senior second baseman/shortstop Angel Villanueva has been driving the ball well to open up the 2019 season. She’s already matched her 2018 season total for doubles after just five games and currently leads the team in extra-base hits.

Villanueva is second on the team in slugging percentage at .385 and leads the team in total bases with five. She’s also the only Cardinal with a stolen base after one weekend of action.

GUZMAN LOOKS TO BUILD ON BREAKOUT SOPHOMORE YEAR Delaney Guzman is looking to match her terrific sophomore campaign, where she led the team in five categories at the plate (home runs, runs, doubles, triples, and slugging percentage).

She established herself as one of the most clutch players in the conference last year, notching four game-winning hits on the season, including the go-ahead three-run home run in a 6-4 win over HBU on 3/30/2018 and another game-winning blast against the Huskies one day earlier.

The Richmond Foster product recorded six multi-hit games and three multi-RBI games in 2018 and is looking to duplicate those efforts in 2019.
