Stacey (Dell’Anno) Laganas ’99 | Softball
A two-time All-American (1998, 1999), Stacey (Dell’Anno) Laganas was an instrumental member of back-to-back regional championship winning teams (1998, 1999) for the Merrimack softball program. She holds the single-season batting average (.529), and RBI (55), and appears twice on the single-season home run record, hitting a program-best 18 during her senior season and 15 (third all-time) during her junior year. Additionally, one of her most impressive single-season feats includes not striking out a single time during her senior season; that season she was the second hardest to strikeout nationwide in addition to leading the country in slugging percentage (1.043) and ranking third in batting average. She was selected as the Northeast-10 Conference Player of the Year in 1999, capping off her historic 1999 campaign. Laganas’s career accolades include ranking third all-time in hits in a
single-season with 73, and second all-time in runs scored during a single season (52). In Warriors’ program history, the slugger currently sits fourth all-time in batting average, hitting .403 from 1996-1999. The all-time leader in homers with 45, Laganas also ranks among the top five in runs scored during her career (147) and RBI (167).
