LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY LANDS ALYSSA GARCIA

Sensational sophomore outfielder Alyssa Garcia will be heading to the great state of New York this fall after signing a scholarship offer from Long Island University.

A strong hitter and an excellent fielder out of Bishop Amat High, Garcia batted .373 for the 2024 State Champion Hornets helping the team to a 44-6 overall record- the best in school history. Alyssa was responsible for 25 runs scored as well as 23 RBI in 43 games played. She made many great catches in right field throughout the season landing her a .976 fielding percentage (84 chances/79 putouts/2 errors). Alyssa earned 2nd Team All-Orange Empire Conference honors this season. Last season, Garcia batted .289 with 22 runs, and 18 RBI.

"We are so excited to see Alyssa do her thing in New York at LIU. Alyssa is definitely talented and has the potential to be a great leader at Long Island. She is an amazing athlete that we feel so blessed to have coached. Alyssa is our only All-American Scholar this season, and I'm sure she will go on to do great things at the next level. We have been able to watch her grown on and off the field and will miss her so much. We look forward to watching her break into the record books at LIU", FC Coach Marian "Speedy" Mendoza.

Congratulations Alyssa!
