The Panthers softball program is excited to announce the first member of Recruiting Class of 2023 - Mackenzie Fregia from West Hardin High School in Saratoga, Texas. She will be bringing southern heat to the pitching circle, as well as a big bat to the batter's box. As a junior, Fregia was a second-team all-star pitcher who also was versatile enough to play multiple infield position and sport a .425 batting average.  

"Mackenzie will be relied on in multiple facets for us," said Panthers Softball Coach Ed Dow. "She is a great piece for our team and will be asked to do several things for us. Mackenzie's game experience from playing all year round in Texas will serve her well when faced with the playing conditions in Central New York."
