Â
Stacy (Radulovich) Neal helped mold the softball program during its infancy at the NCAA Division I level as one of the program’s early dynamic standouts, allowing the program to quickly find success.
Â
During her freshman season on the Mountain, Neal posted a Big South best .437 batting average, to go along with 53 runs scored, 12, doubles, seven triples, 24 RBIs and 39 stolen bases. The standout rookie season numbers earned her 1996 Big South Rookie of the Year accolades. Her star-studded freshman season helped the Lady Flames garner their first 30-win season at the Division I level in 1996 with a 36-18 record.
Â
The native of South Holland, Ill., was a three-time Big South all-conference honoree and three-time VaSID all-state selection. In 1998, she was named the VaSID All-State Player of the Year after batting .339 with 37 runs scored, eight doubles, eight triples and a career-high four home runs.
Â
Neal finished her days in a Liberty uniform with 31 career triples, which still stands today as the school record and is 10 more than any other player in Big South Conference history. The lofty career number earned her a spot on the Big South All-Decade team (1990-99).
Â
During her final year on the Mountain, Neal and the Lady Flames captured the program’s first Big South regular-season title and posted their first-ever 40-win season (41-25).
