Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training Client Maia Monchek Signs Letter of Intent to Play Softball at Purdue Univeristy
Nov. 17, 2008
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Two players from California and a third from Indiana will join the Boilermaker softball team for the 2010 season. Maia Monchek (San Mateo, Calif.), Julia Rice (Oak Park, Calif.) and Erika Petruzzi (Carmel, Ind.) have signed national letters of intent to play for Purdue, head coach Kim Maher announced Monday.
“The key thing about all of our incoming student-athletes is their desire to be a Boilermaker,” Maher said. “They all know the hard work required, the expectations and the vision of our softball program. They know what they are getting into academically and athletically and have embraced the challenge before them, which will only make the rewards greater in the end.”
Monchek, an outfielder from Notre Dame High School in Belmont, Calif., is a three-time all-West Coast Athletic League selection. As a sophomore, the two-time All-San Mateo County honoree led her team to the Central Coast Sectional title as a sophomore and the WCAL league championship as a junior under coaches Ray McDonald and Celina Castillo. The daughter of Pete and Karin Monchek also has found success in the classroom, being named to the Principal’s List each semester and garnering the Notre Dame Scholar Athlete award all three years. Monchek plays summer ball for the San Jose Sting Gold, which has posted four top 10 finishes at ASA Nationals.
“Maia is a lefty with very good bat control,” Maher said. “She has the ability to lay down a drag bunt and drive the ball deep into the gaps. Maia is very disciplined at the plate. She works the count and has ability to foul off pitches until she gets the one she wants to drive. Maia is motivated, has a very good work ethic and has played on highly competitive ASA teams which have challenged for an ASA national championship every year. She will be a great asset to the Purdue softball team on the field and in the classroom.”
