Softball: Former Ivy League Star to Give Pitching Clinic at Foxcroft School in Jan.

Middleburg (Nov. 23, 2011) - Alyssa Smith Keehan, a former Ivy League star at Princeton University, will conduct a softball pitching clinic at Foxcroft School on Sunday, Jan. 21, 2012 from 1:30 to 3 p.m.

The clinic is open to all girls ages 11-1 and costs only $10. It will be held in Foxcroft’s Athletic/Student Center. Girls are requested to bring their own catcher and they may register in advance by calling the Foxcroft Athletic Office (540-687-4553).


Keehan, who played for legendary coach Cindy Cohen at Princeton, pitched for the NCAA Division I Tigers from 1995-98. In 1995, she was a member of the first Ivy League team to compete in the Women’s College World Series. The team made it to the World Series again in 1996.

Keehan pitched one no-hitter and combined on two others during her Princeton career. She was also a member of the 1996 pitching staff that compiled the third lowest earned run average (1.22) in Princeton history. During her freshman year, Princeton was ranked No. 12 in the nation, the only Ivy League school to ever achieve a national ranking.

A lawyer by profession, Keehan has coached pitching for the last 15 years.
