New Canaan Softball’s Keshin Sisters Commit to University of Virginia
|
New Canaan High School softball stars Molly and Rachel Keshin committed to play for the University of Virginia, NewCanaanite.com learned on Tuesday. The twin sisters, currently juniors at NCHS, project to be the first Division 1 softball players in program history provided the commitment—a verbal agreement between school and player—holds up. Given the on and off-field performance of the twins, there’s no reason to believe that it won’t. Molly Keshin, New Canaan’s starting catcher for the past two season, led New Canaan with a .491 batting average as a sophomore in 2015 with team highs in both runs batted in (20) and runs scored (24). She also hit seven triples, tying former New Canaan great Cydney Ventura’s school record, set back in 2012. Keshin played fantastic defense for the Rams at catcher, committing just two errors en route to a .986 fielding percentage.
