Canisius College softball coach Mike Rappl announced today that Sonia Aguilar (Nuevo, Calif.), Michelle DelPrince (Lancaster, N.Y.) and Robin Kennery (Williamsville, N.Y.) have signed their National Letter of Intent and will join the Golden Griffins' roster for the 2012 season.

Aguilar plays both catcher and third base at Nuview Bridge High School in Nueva, Calif. A two-time team captain for the Knights, she was named the California Interscholastic Federation MVP in 2010 after she hit .630 en route to her second-straight team offensive MVP award. She was also honored for her defensive efforts in 2010, as she was honored as the Nuview Bridge team Defensive Player of the Year as well. The daughter of Marco and Rebecca Aguilar, she plans on majoring in criminal justice at Canisius.

"Sonia is a team leader who plays the game hard," Rappl said. "She has all the ability to step in and push for playing time in her freshman year."

DelPrince is a three-year varsity letterwinner at Lancaster High School, where she's been honored as a two-time All-ECIC all-star. An outfielder, DelPrince hit .375 with a .545 slugging percentage and a .429 on-base percentage in 2010. She is a two-sport athlete at Lancaster, having also earned three varsity letters as a member of the Redskins' volleyball program. The daughter of Mitch and Sue DelPrince, she plans on majoring in math education at the College.

"Michelle is a speedy outfielder that runs the bases very well," Rappl said. "She has speed for the short game and she also has some pop in her bat. She hit over .400 in the summer and she can drive the ball for power as well."

Kennery has played on the varsity softball team at Williamsville North High School since her freshman year, has won four varsity letters while playing for the Spartans and is a two-time All-Western New York honoree. For her scholastic career, she's hitting better than .400 and she has only struck out three times. A member of the school's girls' soccer team as well, Kennery is the daughter of Rob and Kate Kennery, and she plans on majoring in psychology at Canisius.

"Robin is a solid infielder who can also pitch and she has a great eye at the plate, which is evident by the fact that she has hit better than .400 over the past few seasons," Rappl said. "She's also served as a two-year captain, which speaks to her leadership abilities as well."
