In her first season as a collegiate head coach, Radomski led the Valiants to a 19-19 record in 2009, the second-most wins by a first-year coach in program history and the fifth-highest single-season win total at Manhattanville. Two of her players, senior Nicole Oliva and sophomore Samantha Howe, were named to the All-Freedom Conference team following the season as the Valiants just missed a berth in the Freedom Conference Tournament with a 7-9 conference mark.

Radomski and her Valiant team proved to be a very resilient squad in 2009, as Manhattanville recorded five walk-off wins at Manhattanville Field and also won two more games in its final at-bat on the home field.

A 2003 graduate of American International College in Springfield, Mass., Radomski brings a wealth of coaching and playing experience to Purchase. From 2004-2008, she served as an assistant coach at Division II American International, where she assisted in the teaching of fundamentals and strategies and also worked with and catchers to call pitches during games. In addition, Radomski played a role in the Yellow Jackets’ recruiting efforts and also helped to plan practices.

Prior to her coaching work at American International, Radomski served as a Graduate Associate Softball Coach at Division III Springfield College, working exclusively with the team’s pitchers and catchers on mechanics and game strategy.

During her four-year collegiate playing career at American International, Radomski was named to the Northeast-10 All-Conference first team as a senior and was a two-time All-NEISCA team honoree in 2001 and 2003. As a senior, she helped the team to the Northeast-10 Conference Tournament Championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament by leading the Yellow Jackets with a .326 batting average and 27 runs batted in while also posting a 14-9 record and a 2.13 ERA in the circle.

In her four seasons in an AIC uniform, Radomski appeared in 201 career games for the Yellow Jackets and registered a .289 batting average at the plate. Also a team leader in the circle, Radomski went 36-26 with a 2.34 ERA and 171 in 78 career appearances.

After graduation, Radomski spent two summers in Italy playing softball professionally for The Radomski Record Impresa Tarabuso of the A1-A2 divisions in 2004 and 2005. Stateside, she has also spent the last Year Team Record Conference Postseason four seasons playing with the 28-time national champion Stratford Brackettes of the Women’s 2009 Manhattanville 19-19 7-9 (6th) -- Major Fast Pitch League. Career Record 19-19 7-9 Radomski is a native of Easton, Conn., and still resides in her hometown.

Assistant Coach Sara Puglisi First Season • American International ’09 Sara Puglisi enters her first year as an assistant coach with the Manhattanville softball team in 2010 and will assist second-year head coach Amber Radomski in all facets of the Valiant program.

Puglisi was a four-year varsity letterwinner on the softball field for Division II American International College, where she started 64 of her 83 career appearances in the circle. In four seasons with the Yellow Jackets, she compiled 26 wins and struck out 261 batters while posting a 3.14 ERA and was named team captain her senior year. Puglisi was also the recipient of the College’s Alumnae Award, which is presented to a female student-athlete who exhibits outstanding qualities of leadership, scholarship and athletic ability as well as a superior attitude in regards to cooperation and overall contribution to her team.

Puglisi had her best statistical season for AIC as a freshman, appearing in 23 games and tossing a career-high 107.0 innings in a Yellow Jacket jersey. She struck out a career-best 103 batters with a 2.49 ERA in that first collegiate season, including posting a 7-1 mark in her final 11 appearances of the year.

Puglisi earned her bachelor’s degree in education from American International College in May 2009 and is currently pursuing her master’s degree in education at Manhattanville.

A native of Amsterdam, N.Y., Puglisi currently resides in Purchase, N.Y.

18 2010 Manhattanville Softball Media Guide Facilities Manhattanville Field Nestled in the northernmost corner of Manhattanville’s suburban New York campus, the newly renovated Manhattanville Field is the exclusive home of the Valiant women’s softball program. Following the 2009 season, Manhattanville Field received a complete renovation that has turned the facility into one of the best softball fields in the area. For the first time, the softball team and its opponents will enjoy fully enclosed and covered dugouts as well as a permanent outfield fence in 2010, while both the infield and outfield surfaces were re-leveled to provide surer hops, more foul ground and a better overall playing experience. Also as part of the renovation, there is now more room for spectators to sit and enjoy the Valiant softball team along the baselines. One of the more intimidating places in the region for a visiting team to play at, the Val- iant softball team has enjoyed a tremendous home-field advantage at Manhattanville Field in recent seasons. Over the last five years, the Valiant softball team has posted an excellent 64-16 (.800) record at Manhattanville Field, including a 31-6 mark against conference op- ponents on the home field. Last season, the Valiants won 10 of their 16 games played at Manhattanville Field, including four Freedom Conference doubleheader splits. The Valiants provided their home fans plenty of excitement in their home games, as five were walk-off victories and the team took the lead in their final at-bat on two other occasions. Manhattanville Field also has seen its share of conference tournament games in recent years, as the Valiants have posted a 10-3 record and won three Skyline Conference Tourna- ment Championships on their home field since 2002. Kennedy Gymnasium Dedicated in October 1957 by the family of eventual President John F. Kennedy, Kennedy Gymnasium is the day-to-day home of the Manhattanville Department of Athletics as well as the home court for the Valiant basketball and volleyball teams. Kennedy’s main attraction, a basketball and volleyball arena, is flanked by strength, training, locker room and office facilities and is the operational home of all Valiant sports. All in-season sports have their own space inside Kennedy Gymnasium’s several locker rooms (one of which is pictured to the left), with each player allowed his or her own locker. Inside the fully-enclosed locker rooms, the coaching staff can address the team before and after games, and the rooms are a perfect congregating spot for teams at any time throughout the season. The rest of the locker room facilities inside Kennedy Gym include full shower and locker facilities, as well as access to Manhattanville’s swimming pool, strength and conditioning facilities, and athletic training facilities. The offices of almost all varsity head and assistant coaches at the school are also located within Ken- nedy Gym, as are the offices of all Manhattanville athletics administrators. Kennedy Gymnasium is also host to several camps and local recreational groups during the summer. Manhattanville’s athletic trophies and banners, highlighting the program’s best accomplishments throughout the school’s distinguished athletic history, are also located inside the lobby and main arena of Kennedy Gymnasium. Strength & Conditioning Focused on the development of the student-athlete, the Manhattanville Department of Athletics views strength and conditioning as one of the most important developmental tools. The facilities inside Kennedy Gymnasium are a testament to that philosophy. The strength and conditioning department is housed inside Healthworks, a large, state-of-the-art weight and cardiovascular training facility located on the bottom floor of Kennedy Gymnasium. The room includes several power development stations, glut ham benches, decline abdominal benches and physioballs and cardiovascular machines. In late 2007, Manhattanville College opened a new Student Center in the center of campus that includes a first-class workout area for the general student population, thus making Healthworks the exclusive strength and conditioning home of Valiant student-athletes. Healthworks is supervised by Manhattanville’s Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, Corey Crane. Crane, along with his assistant strength and conditioning coach, is responsible for managing and providing the design, implementation, supervision and evaluation of the strength and conditioning program utilized by all 21 Valiant varsity sports. Athletic Training The Sports Medicine facilities at Manhattanville College are located inside Kennedy Gymnasium and are the place where all Valiant student-athletes come to receive com- prehensive health care from any of Manhattanville’s three fully-certified, full-time athletic trainers. The athletic training staff has five main objectives: prevention of athletic injuries; recognition, evaluation and treatment of injuries that do occur; rehabilitation; health care administration and professional development. The athletic training staff also has on-campus access to state-of-the-art training methods, including ultrasound capability, electrical muscle stimulation and whirlpool treatments. Scott McIver, a veteran of nearly 20 years in sports medicine, is Manhattanville’s Head Athletic Trainer. McIver worked for the Valiants from 2000-02 following a 12-year stint as Associate Athletic Trainer at Pace University, and came back to the school for a second stint beginning in 2006. JR Barkamian joined the staff in August 2008 as Assistant Athletic Trainer after spending time at Division I Fordham University. The department also employs a full-time Graduate Assistant Athletic Trainer to help coordinate the school’s 21 sports. 2010 Manhattanville Softball Media Guide 19 Manhattanville College Manhattanville College, located just north of in thriving Westchester County, has been educating young people on its beautiful 100-acre campus for over 150 years.
