PURCHASE, N.Y. – The Manhattanville University softball team sent seven Valiants to the Skyline All-Conference softball teams, with head coach Dale Martin earning the conference's Co-Coach of the Year award in his 19^th season at the helm of the Valiant dugout.

Martin's tenth Coach of the Year accolade of his highly decorated career lead the way in another decorated accolade season for Manhattanville softball, the third-straight season the Valiants have had seven or more players earn All-Conference nods. Martin is now a seven-time Skyline Conference Coach of the Year, previously winning the award three straight seasons from 2021 to 2023. The winningest coach in school history, Martin led Manhattanville to a third-consecutive 30-win season as the Valiants went 31-11 in the 2025 campaign. Martin earned his 500^th win as Manhattanville manager and 600^th overall of his coaching career on April 30^th in a doubleheader sweep of Sarah Lawrence.

Manhattanville had a conference-high five First Team selections, with seniors Samantha Walsh (Spring City, Pa./Owen J Roberts) and Emily Mottoshiski (Craryville, N.Y./Taconic Hills), juniors Samantha Reyer (Oceanside, N.Y./Oceanside) and Isabella Tansey (San Diego, Calif./University City), and sophomore Angelina Cruz (Oceanside, Calif./Rancho Buena Vista) each being voted onto the All-Conference Team by the Skyline's ten head coaches. The other two senior members of the Class of 2025, Rachel Coleman (Lake Forest, Calif./Mission Viejo) and Olivia Fasce (Yorktown Heights, N.Y./Yorktown), were voted onto the Skyline Second Team.

Walsh started all 42 games of her senior campaign, primarily manning second base while making six appearances in the circle. She hit .381 on the season and scored a team-high 47 runs to become Manhattanville's career leader in runs with 165 across her four seasons as a Valiant. Walsh boasted a career-high .636 slugging percentage, with her ten doubles, two triples and six home runs all either tying or setting new personal bests. She also held her own pitching, sporting a 1.17 ERA across 24 innings for a 4-0 record and 26 strikeouts. Walsh ends her career having been named to the Skyline First Team in all four of her seasons at Manhattanville.

Mottoshiski was Manhattanville's workhorse of the 2025 rotation, pitching in 31 games. Across 151 innings, the senior posted the lowest season ERA of her career of 1.72. Mottoshiski finished the year with a 17-7 record, striking out a career-high 84 in the campaign. The Craryville native went the distance in 17 contests and tossed four shutouts while earning three saves in relief, tied for the most in a single season in program history. Mottoshiski threw a pair of no-hitters, a five inning solo effort against Mount Saint Mary on April 4 and a combined effort against Sarah Lawrence on April 30. She also excelled at the plate with a career-high .460 average across 63 at-bats, driving in 19 and scored 24 on six doubles, a pair of triples and two homers. Mottoshiski becomes a two-time Skyline First Team selection with the appointment, previously selected to the team in 2022.

Reyer makes her third-straight All-Conference team after the junior wrapped up another stellar season at shortstop. She started all 42 contests and hit a career-best .360 during the campaign. Reyer reached 30 RBI for a third year in a row and scored 26 runs of her own, hitting six doubles, two triples and two homers. It's Reyer's second First Team selection, previously voted to the distinction as a freshman in 2023, after making the Skyline Second Team in 2024.

Tansey delivered at the top of the Manhattanville lineup as a junior, hitting .375 across 38 games. Primarily playing left field, Tansey sported a career-high .615 slugging percentage with 11 doubles and four deep flies to drive in 19. Her 29 runs scored also marked a new personal best as she did her job setting the table, drawing 20 walks and stealing 14 bases. Tansey is now a back-to-back Skyline First Team selection and third All-Conference nod in total, having made the Second Team as a rookie in 2023.

Cruz wraps up Manhattanville's First Team nods, earning her first All-Conference selection as she assumed starting catcher duties as a sophomore in 2025. Playing in 38 games, Cruz' batting average climbed nearly 100 points from her rookie season as she hit .371 this spring. She drove in 33 and scored 21, belting six homers and six doubles. Cruz also played a solid game defensively behind the plate, sporting a .984 fielding percentage on the season and throwing out four on stolen base attempts.

Coleman repeats as a Second Team selection, her second All-Conference honor of her career, as she posted the best numbers of her collegiate tenure in her senior season. Coleman manned first base for 32 games and hit a team-high .415 on the year, more than 100 points higher than her previous career-high average. She rocked a .671 slugging percentage with nine doubles and four home runs, helping to drive in 26 while crossing home plate 21 times. Coleman also nabbed the first four steals of her career this season while making 200 putouts at the corner.

Fasce started all 42 games for the Valiants in center field this year, capping off four years of an increasing batting average with a career-high .367 clip as a senior. Fasce rocked a .438 on-base percentage primarily out of the two-hole in the batting order, scoring 41 runs. She was a perfect 19-for-19 on steal attempts to lead Manhattanville's effort on the basepaths, the second-most steals in a season in program history. Fasce further showed off her wheels with 11 doubles and four triples while driving in 19. This is her second All-Conference distinction after making the First Team in 2023.
