Villanova Univeristy Athletics

An all-time great hitter for the Wildcats, Jill Karpinski's name remains littered across the Villanova record books in nearly every major category. As of the 2023 season, the catcher/designated player maintained the all-time triples lead (20) as well as the second best all-time mark in both slugging (.660) and OPS (1.078) while also ranking fifth in batting average, sixth in RBI and seventh in on-base percentage. Inducted into the Villanova Hall of Fame in 2006, Karpinski spent 1987-90 as a Wildcat and provided the team's top single-season marks in batting average, runs scored, hits and home runs almost every year of her career. The Syracuse native drove in seven runs twice in her career, tying her for the program's single game lead.
