Samantha Yodowitz, a two-time All-America Second Team selection, enters her second season on the Pioneers' coaching staff after a record-breaking career with the Pioneers.

Yodowitz’s career continued upon graduation as she was signed by the Philadelphia Force of the National Pro Fastpitch league.

In her four seasons at C.W. Post, Yodowitz posted a 90-27 record with a 1.68 ERA, striking out 586 batters in 792 innings.

She was equally impressive at the plate, batting .329 with 95 RBI, connected for 20 home runs and 58 extra-base hits. In 2008, the lefty started every game in the Pioneers’ postseason, posting a 3-0 record in the East Coast Conference Championship, and a 4-0 record in the NCAA Northeast Regional Championship.

The Suffern, N.Y. native garnered several other accolades for her performance in 2008, as she was named to the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division II All-Star Team, the NFCA All-Northeast Region First Team, as well as the All-ECC First Team.

The team improved each year since Yodowitz came on as a freshman in 2005. The former player helped lead C.W. Post to a combined 176-57 record, two conference championships, consecutive NCAA Division II Championship Northeast Regional titles in 2007 and 2008, and two appearances in the College World Series.
