Melissa: “I am pleased to have Mel join our team. She throws hard and will be fun to watch
pitch. As she gains experience and
develops her curve ball she will be tough to beat in our conference.”
High School: Mel participated in intramural sports and was
on the track and field team, competing in the 100m, 200m, and 400m. She also played on her school soccer
team. In travel ball for the last two
years her team has qualified for the ASA World Series, won bronze at our
provincial qualifiers, as well as at provincials. Two years ago her team did qualify for
Nationals, where they won bronze, making them the 3rd best team in
all of Canada.
Mel received the MVP award in the bronze medal game, by having 13 strikeouts in
6 innings, and allowed only 1 earned run.

Common interests are, reading, playing the flute, and running. She is the daughter of Linda and David
Laliberte. Has one brother, Nicholas She is

Why ABAC?: I came to ABAC
by chance, after signing with Division 1, Saint Francis University in Pennsylvania. After a coaching change at Saint Francis, I
no longer wanted to attend. Via the
college web site and talking with Coach Campbell I decided to sign with ABAC
about 3 weeks before school started.
Things seemed to work out alright because the school and people are
great, and I love the weather.
