Ashley Valle placed a bit of fear into opposing pitchers every time she stepped to the plate.
The 6-foot-1 right-handed power hitter was a tough out for two seasons with the SC4 women’s softball program.
Coach Ron Matthews said Valle led the Skippers in home runs both her freshman and sophomore seasons.
Valle, a 2010 Algonac High School graduate, also excelled in basketball during her high school career.
On the softball diamond, the first baseman earned All-MCCAA Eastern Conference honors and was an NJCAA Third Team All-American in 2011.
“I really enjoyed playing at SC4 because it was my first time playing with a group of girls where most of us were strangers to one another,” Valle said. “It was a cool process watching us all get closer and really playing as a team.
“Classes at SC4 had a high school feeling to them because they were smaller classes. You weren’t just a seat in an auditorium. The teachers were very helpful.”
After a couple of years away from the game, Valle finished up her education and softball career in 2015 and 2016 at Cleary University.
