Rutgers-Camden Athletics

The Scarlet Raptors’ center fielder and leadoff hitter, Kimmy Musarra had the finest season of her career as a senior, leading the team in hitting (.385) and earning New Jersey Athletic Conference First Team honors. A stellar student as well, she captured her third NJAC Academic Honorable Mention recognition, along with several more academic honors from Rutgers-Camden.
 
During her four years at Rutgers-Camden, Musarra started all 86 of her games while compiling a .304 career average, 53 runs scored, 20 sacrifices and 25 stolen bases in 28 attempts. An outstanding contact hitter with great plate discipline, she also walked 41 times and only struck out 30 times over her career. In her four seasons, she never struck out more times than she walked, with her freshman season the only time those marks were even (16 walks, 16 strikeouts).
