A four-time first-team All-Patriot League selection, Sweeney amassed a career record of 94-21 in the pitcher’s circle with a 1.64 ERA and 928 strikeouts. At the plate, the Lumberton, N.J. native was a .353 career hitter with a school-record 23 career home runs. She was a four-time All-Region selection and was named the ECAC Player of the Year in 2008.
In the classroom, Sweneey also excelled as she was a three-time Academic All-District Selection, a 2008 third-team Academic All-American and the 2009 Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year for softball. She also won the Lehigh Athletics Department’s Graduating Female Athlete Award in 2009.
