Jackie Wear has always been the type of softball player to do whatever was asked of her.

She did it during high school at Northwestern and throughout her career at Delaware Valley College. She played in the outfield, behind home plate and at shortstop during her career as a Tiger. She also saw time at all of those positions as a Delaware Valley Aggie. She played left field as a freshman and catcher as a junior, while seeing most of her time as a sophomore and senior at shortstop.

Her stellar career ended with an outstanding senior season that she will never forget.

"In high school I played outfield; I played short; and I caught," Wear said. "So it's pretty much the same thing these four years. It's nothing really new. I told coach [Corey Heulitt], 'Wherever you need me, just put me wherever.'

"I came to Del Val for education, and I've always known that softball has been a plus. I didn't come to school for softball, but I was given the opportunity to play all four years, pretty much start all four years, and meet so many different girls."

Despite the team's struggles this season (3-29 overall, 2-12 in the Freedom Conference) Wear put up team-high marks in a number of categories. Playing in all 32 games she led the team in batting average (.450), on-base percentage (.516), slugging percentage (.688), hits (36), doubles (11), walks (9) and total bases (55).

Wear also posted two homeruns and one triple, both tied for team-highs. She recorded a .935 fielding percentage at shortstop, where she spent much of this season.

"It's very tough only having three wins right now," Wear said. "It's nothing to show for how hard we worked in practice and such.

"It's not a good way to end my career, but at the same time I'm doing what I love. I'm with the girls and the team that I enjoy playing with. That means more to me than a winning record."

As a sophomore, Wear put together a season that resulted in an accomplishment no other Aggie has achieved. During that 2012 campaign, she led the conference in batting average (.496), on-base percentage (.550), slugging percentage (.496), hits (57), doubles (18), total bases (101) and stolen bases (57). That success resulted in her being named the Freedom Conference Player of the Year. To date, no other Aggie could ever say the same.

"It was very unexpected," Wear said. "It kind of set the standards for the next two years. I wasn't able to fulfill that junior year, but it was kind of like the peak of my career. It was an amazing opportunity and award to get."

During her junior season, her numbers dropped ever so slightly, but that .372 bating average still led the Aggies. She was a Freedom Conference honorable mention selection after earning the top recognition from the previous year.

Wear admits that the pressure and the rest of the league knowing her may have had something to do with the slight drop in production. But she surpassed all of that and put together numbers in 2014 that weren't much off her Player of the Year season stats. There's not reason to expect that she won't be named to the All-Freedom Conference team again.

"Maybe pressure-wise and mentally myself, [and] thinking you did all these great things sophomore year, you have to live up to your standards," Wear said. "I think it got to me mentally. I think people within the conference knew who I was after that.

"I put it [pressure] aside, play my game, and do what I know how to do."

While her college career has closed, Wear plans to stay involved in the sport. She has aspirations of playing for the 23U Allentown Patriettes and would like to help her sister, Erin, coach down the road.
