Angela Lichty (1999-2002) had an immediate impact her first season, batting .390 and setting many freshman records. The 1999 softball Clan went 45-7, and won SFU’s first NAIA national title. Lichty had four RBIs as the Clan defeated Oklahoma City 7-3 in the final.

It was the beginning of a remarkable career. Playing third base and later short stop, Lichty became a two-time All-American (2000, 2001) and the program’s career leader in: at bats (537), hits (202) and doubles (46). She posted a career batting average of .376 with a .445 on-base percentage and .512 slugging percentage.

“Angela inspired her teammates with her work ethic and approach to the game,” said long-time SFU head coach Mike Renney.

A native of Guelph, Ont., Lichty went on to play with the Canadian National team that finished ninth at the 2002 World Championships and fifth at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.
