Sara Anderson is UAlbany’s glue-and-gas infield bat
In the 2026 season, Sara Anderson has been one of UAlbany’s most reliable infield sparks, hitting .396 with a .962 OPS in 17 starts and leading the America East with 13 sacrifice bunts; she also brings timely extra-base pop and run production, including a big double-driven effort in mid-March and multiple multi-hit games. What makes her valuable is the combo package: contact, situational execution, and a senior’s steadiness in the middle of the lineup, plus real defensive experience at third base. She looks like the kind of player who helps a team win the little things—very fit-friendly, if you like smart, high-IQ softball.
