It was an incredible weekend for former Coral Springs Charter softball players in Shannon Doherty, Sara Berthiaume, and Emily Estroff in the opening week of college softball.
The three players combined to win ten State Championships while playing for Head Coach Mark Montimurro at CSC. They are also all striving to play Division I softball, as both Doherty and Estroff helped knock off two of the top teams in the country.
“It’s wonderful to see all our former players having so much success at the next level,” said Coach Montimurro. “We are all very proud of what they’re doing at a high Division 1 level.”
Shannon Doherty
After playing her first full college softball season last year, hitting two home runs, and driving in 15 runs, Doherty had her iconic moment with the University of Central Florida.

With the game tied in the bottom of the eighth inning, Doherty hit a walk-off home run to give the Knights a 7-6 win over 12th ranked University of Georiga. Doherty recorded 15 home runs, 119 RBI’s, 129 hits, and 111 runs scored during her varsity career.
Sara Berthiaume
Sara Berthiaume at Florida Atlantic University got her season off to a fantastic start by recording a hit in six of her first seven at-bats. That included five singles and a double, batting leadoff for the Owls.

While FAU dropped their opening three games of the season, they were able to win their first game of the season Saturday night against Northern Illinois. In five years on the varsity softball team, Berthiaume won a state championship every year and hit .453, including batting over .500 during her junior and senior seasons.
Emily Estroff
After pitching in only 26 games during her first two years at Florida Gulf Coast University, Estroff made 33 starts in 2021. The senior has already made four this season and picked up a win on the mound against tenth-ranked University of Texas.
She pitched six innings and allowed three earned runs and four hits while striking out three. Estroff also won the season’s opening game against Long Island University and shined at second base with several spectacular plays.
