Andy Hegarty brings international pedigree and rookie poise to Lafayette’s circle
Andy Hegarty entered Lafayette as a high-upside pitcher with a real résumé: a four-time team MVP in high school, a school-record 1,017 strikeouts, and experience helping Ireland win bronze at the U-18 European Championships. In the 2026 season, she showed flashes of swing-and-miss stuff—highlighted by a three-inning hitless stint vs. Rider—but also took her lumps against stronger lineups, which is typical for a freshman adjusting to Division I. The fit? Good arm, competitive edge, and runway to grow.
