Abby Bodenlos '04 is one of six student-athletes to be inducted into the Allegheny College Athletics Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2024. While at both Shady Side Academy and Allegheny College, Abby excelled in Softball, even returning to coach at SSA for a while.
Abby, part of the Class of 2008 at Allegheny College, remains among the most decorated student-athletes in Allegheny College Gator softball history. The Pittsburgh native is the only Gator to earn multiple North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) Player of the Year awards, having won the conference's top honor in 2007 and 2008. A four-time All-NCAC selection, Bodenlos was a three-time All-Region pick and secured first-team accolades in each of her last two seasons. She was a key player in a lineup that led Allegheny to two NCAC Tournament titles and two NCAA Championship appearances in 2005 and 2007. The program's all-time leader in stolen bases, the speedy Bodenlos swiped 79 bases over her career, including a season-record 31 during her junior season. Her numbers at the plate are equally impressive. Bodenlos, who batted above .400 in her junior and senior seasons, was a career .366 hitter with 15 home runs, 84 RBIs, and 117 runs scored.
The Allegheny Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2024 will be enshrined with a formal ceremony on Friday, September 27.
