SAN FRANCISCO -- Academy of Art University softball certainly made 2015 a season to remember. Playing for one another embracing a family culture set by first-year head coach Sonja Garnett and her staff, the Urban Knights were dominant at home, broke numerous records, and did all this while achieving the program's best record since 2011.

"I am so proud of the women for all they accomplished this year," said Garnett. "I was blessed to step into such a passionate group of athletes, looking to improve, learn, and work hard. In the fall and spring, we sat down and created goals; they wanted to do better rather than just talk about doing better. They wanted to play well, pick each other up, have five hitters bat above .500 and do well academically. They put their heads down, worked hard, were coachable, and accomplished each one of their goals."

 In the end, Academy of Art would win 10 of its last 12 games, finish 15-5 at home, and complete the year 28-26 overall (18-14 in PacWest).

ART U set single-season team records for hits (446), doubles (84), total bases (619), slugging percentage (.429), and fielding percentage (.952) with a core of seniors who led the way. Highlighting a quartet of All-Pacific West Conference Team honorees, HailyMacDonald finished the season on the All-PacWest First Team, Capital One Academic All-District Team, and just the third Urban Knight to earn Daktronics All-West Region honors. Additionally, post-season selections came for Samantha Klune (Second Team), Brenna Mitchell (Third Team), and Nirana Singh (Third Team) to tie for the most in program history.
