Coach's Corner - Lou Santos

Lou Santos has been head softball coach at Archbishop Molloy for 25 years, 22 of those coaching Junior Varsity, and the last 3 coaching Varsity.
In 2025, he led the Stanners to the Queens Division Championship, the Brooklyn/Queens Championship, NYC Championship, up until the New York State semifinals.
The Stanners were also voted #1 in Team GPA in the United States by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA).
His 2026 season outlook remains the same...first place finishes and continued domination with the Stanners.

Going into 2026, the Stanners boast their toolbox of championships from the season prior, but also a star studded trio of captains ready to lead the team into another deep playoff run.

The captain for the Stanners this year is senior Elizabeth Meade. The RBI machine plays a versatile 1B/OF and helped rally the team late in games and deep into the playoffs last year.

The Stanners co-captains for the upcoming season include senior Kimmy Piazza and junior Diem Nenadich.

Piazza, just one year removed from playing a strong LHP/OF, two-way player combo to carry the Stanners to the city championship, is eager to run it back and lead her team again. Also, she has committed to play Division 1 softball at St. John's University to continue her academic and athletic career.

Nenadich captains the infield again this season, patrolling shortshop, and she aims to keep her perfect 60 for 60 stolen base streak alive. She has committed to play Division 1 Softball at Hofstra University to continue her academic and athletic career.

Coming Soon!
