Kat Gallant gives Villanova a workhorse left-side edge in the circle
In the 2026 season, Villanova senior pitcher Kat Gallant has shown real bite: 77.1 innings, 49 strikeouts, and a complete-game win in her strongest outing, plus a save in her final career game[2][3][4]. Her calling card is competitiveness and durability—she’s a 5'10" righty who can eat innings, miss bats, and steady a staff even when the strike zone gets messy. She was also a BIG EAST Pitcher of the Week in 2025 after posting a 1.08 ERA in that stretch, which is a nice neon sign that she can crank it up when it matters[13].
