Ferris Recruit Vasovski Earns All-Area Recognition

Coming off a solid 2010 spring campaign, Ferris State University and head softball coach Keri Becker hoped to build off the promise of the most recent season.

With a solid recruiting class, one that includes catcher Bianca Vasovski, of Farmington Hills Harrison High School, Ferris has high hopes.

In spite of its youth, the Bulldogs were one of the surprising teams of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. This year, Ferris hopes to not be one of the surprise teams, but to use its experiences from last year to be a wire-to-wire contender in the GLIAC.

Recently, the future Bulldog earned all-area honors from a local publication in her Detroit-area community. Here is a capsule on Vasovski:

Bianca Vasovski, Sr. C, Harrison: Vasovski was a four-year starter for the Hawks, moving from shortstop to catcher this year to fill a need at that position. She batted .410 with 45 hits, which included 14 doubles and five home runs. She drove in 35 runs and scored 26. Vasovski had a .673 slugging percentage and graded .933 on her fielding.

“Bianca is by far the best athlete I have had the privilege of coaching,” coach Kristen Zabalavicius said. “Her hard work and love of the game make her enjoyable to be around and a model to her teammates. I know Bianca will make a very positive impact on the Ferris State softball program next year and will surely be missed by her Hawk softball family. I am very excited for her!”
