Jessica Banning To Attend D'Youville College!

Jessica Banning will attend D'Youville college in the fall of 2011. Jess plans on studying in the PT program and will play softball for the Spartans along with current Diamond Girl teammate Ashley McCormick.
Jess attends Amherst High School and plays travel softball for the New Era Diamond Girls.

Jess has been a solid player for the Diamond Girls where she has played for Coach Jim Smith, Ray Hennessy and Chris Swiatek for many years. She has helped the Diamond Girls make several top ten appearances at the national level and teamed up with Meghan Smith to win many tournament titles during her career. In 2010 most of her team had graduated and went off to college, she was able to join up with the younger Diamond Girls and the 2011 graduates where she currently plays. She is currently coached by Larry Colucci, Chris Swiatek and Mitch DelPrince.

No doubt she will be an asset for coach Churchill and the D'Youville Spartans. Jess is a solid pitcher that will keep you off balance at the plate. She also plays outfield and won't let you down at the plate. Jess maintains a team first attitude that is contagious across the bench and on the field.

Congratulations Jess!
