Eustis High Softball Alumni Libby Levendoski Finishes Impressive Freshman Year At Army
Libby Levendoski has finished up her freshman year at Army West Point. She was one of the most dominant pitchers in Eustis High School history and earned a Division 1 scholarship to one of the most prestigious academies in the USA.
The 5’9″ freshman appeared in 17 games for the Army Black Knights. She drew 3 starts. In her 37 total innings pitched, she had 40 strikeouts and finished the season with a 5.68 ERA. In the second game of a series with Lafayette, Levendoski had a career-high 6 strikeouts and allowed zero hits.
(Libby maintained a 0.51 ERA her senior year at Eustis along with 286 strikeouts.)
Levendoski was a First-Team All-State selection and won a state championship with Eustis High School during her sophomore year. She won the USA Gold National in 2021 and was the FHSAA Class 4A Player of the Year three times in 2021, 2022, and 2023. She dominated her senior year and maintained a 0.51 ERA totaling 286 strikeouts.
Levendoski also competed in volleyball and weightlifting and was part of the National Honor Society. She is an inspiration to many in our area, and we are grateful that she is attending Army and will one day serve our great nation.
We look forward to following her career.
