Madison Rishel is FDU’s table-setter and run producer in center field
Rishel has been one of Fairleigh Dickinson’s most impactful bats in 2026, leading the Knights with a .374 average and posting a strong .485 mark in NEC play while earning All-NEC First Team honors for the second straight year. She brings leadoff value with speed, contact consistency, and pressure on defenses, adding 15 steals and 37 runs scored; her 2025 breakout and 2026 conference surge suggest a high-floor player who competes every day and fits teams needing an athletic, dependable outfield catalyst.
