On Monday night, Marissa DeMatteo won the Gold Standard Teammate of the Year award for the Pittsburgh Panthers Softball team at Pitt’s Second Annual Panthers’ Choice Awards. When I asked her how it felt, she said:
“I was so honestly so shocked! I knew the girls voted for this award, so it truly meant so much to me that I almost got a little emotional. My teammates mean so much to me, they’re all my sisters. I don’t know where I would be without them. They are truly such a source of light in my life. It was such a special moment.
