Local Teen Signs Up to Be a Bulldog

Pitcher Alycia Deluca, who trains in Romeoville, will play for the Lisle Slammers this summer before heading to South Suburban College in the fall.

On Friday, Alycia Deluca of Bolingbrook signed her letter of intent to play softball for Coach Larry Babcock and South Suburban College next season.

With a full athletic scholarship, she will join the Bulldogs as a starting pitcher beginning the 2014-2015 school year. Alycia has led her Premier travel team in strikeouts, wins, and earned run average the last 3 seasons. Her most memorable moments include a tournament last fall where she dominated time on the mound in a push to get to the championship. She ultimately went on to pitch that championship game, helping her team take home the first-place title.

Deluca's best moments also includes a no hitter, with 16 strikeouts, that she pitched for Bolingbrook High School in 2013. She has played Travel-A softball in her younger years with the Bolingbrook Fury, but continued on to a Premier/College Exposure team with the Illinois Hawks.

Deluca has been training at "GenuWin Sports Training" in Romeoville with owner and pitching Coach Marcy Kritikos. She will finish up a final season locally this summer with the Lisle Slammers before moving on to her college career.

She will be pursuing a degree in radiation & diagnostic Ultrasound.
