Shana Treon enters her seventh season as an assistant coach for the Holy Family Softball team for the 2016-17 season. She shares the duties as the program’s hitting and offensive coach and she is the team’s primary outfield coach. Treon is also responsible for team academics, and assists with on and off campus recruiting and all practice planning.
Â
In Treon’s tenure, the HFU offense has seen a steady increase in batting average, RBIs, slugging percentage, on-base percentage, and runs scored as well as a steady decrease in team strikeouts. In the team’s record-breaking 2016 season, the offensive output was at it’s highest under Treon and Coach Paul Ortega’s guidance. The team recorded the most runs scored (tied with 2014 team), hits, doubles, triples, and total bases touched. Proof of the Tiger’s aggressive offensive strategy, the 2016 team also picked up a 75% stolen base percentage – second highest only to the 2014 team. During the 2015 season, Treon and Ortega’s offense earned the second highest team batting average of the program’s NCAA era and the highest since the 2007 season. With Treon and Coach Paul Ortega mentoring the hitters, the 2014 squad put together one of the best offensive seasons in program history including setting a new team record for batting average, hits, RBIs, slugging percentage, walks, runs scored, and on-base percentage.

Defensively, Treon’s outfielders have continuously raised the bar of excellence. In 2015, sophomore outfielder Brianna Scotto received All-CACC honors for the second year in a row, earning a spot on the second team. Additionally, during the 2014 season, all three of Treon’s outfielders earned CACC All-Conference accolades.

Prior to her time at Holy Family, Treon spent four years as an assistant coach at Penn State Abginton College where she played an integral part in the program’s transition from an intramural team to an NCAA Division III program. While at Penn State Abington, Treon shared the offensive duties and was primarily responsible for the Nittany Lions outfielders, compliance, academics, and budgeting.
