After serving as the head coach at Immaculata for six seasons, Dolores Martino enters her seventh season as an assistant coach with the Mighty Macs' softball team in 2019.
In Martino's last season as head coach in 2012, Immaculata qualified for the CSAC Tournament as the fourth seed for the fourth-straight season, and ended the year with a 21-20 overall and 16-6 mark in conference play.
Martino guided seven all-league players during the 2012 season, including First Team All-CSAC honorees Holly Schell and Meagan Fitzgerald, while Dana Bozzetto and Samantha Strickland were named Second Team All-CSAC. Jenny Barnholt, Maleaha Himmons and Julia Lamplugh earned honorable mention accolades.
Schell and Fitzgerald were also honored as members of the 2012 Philadelphia Inquirer Academic All-Area Softball Team.
Martino was named the 2011 Colonial States Athletic Conference Coach of the Year after coaching the Mighty Macs to a 17-5 conference record earning them the No. 3 seed in the 2011 CSAC playoffs.
In 2011, Martino once again mentored five all-league players. Bozzetto earned First Team All-CSAC recognition while Schell and Lamplugh were named Second Team All-CSAC. Allison Zborowski and Danielle Palmisano each earned honorable mention accolades.
In addition, newcomer Jenny Barnholt became the NCAA Division III statistical champion as the toughest player to strikeout in Division III in her rookie season. Barnholt did not register a strikeout in 90 at-bats in the 2011 season.
In 2010, Immaculata earned the fifth seed and fell in the opening round of the tournament. In 2009, however, Immaculata finished as the CSAC runner-up after advancing to the championship's final day as the fifth seed.
The Mighty Macs recorded an overall record of 4-20 and 4-16 in the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (PAC) during 2008. In her first season at the helm, the Mighty Macs went 4-21-1 overall and 4-18 in the PAC.
Martino mentored her first All-PAC First Team selection during 2008 when Carol Mastrosante earned recognition in the catcher's position. Mastrosante batted .513 for the year and led the team in hits (39) and RBI (16). During the 2007 season, Val Rutt-Guerriere tied for the team lead in RBI (16) and tied for second in hits (24), and was named Honorable Mention All-PAC.
Martino has since guided Melissa Fetter to CSAC honorable mention accolades in 2009, and in 2010 coached five all-league players. Lamplugh, Mastrosante and Mindy Monastra all garnered second team honors while Nikki Curcione and Sara Holleran was selected honorable mention.
Martino joined the Mighty Macs after a 13-year stint as the head softball coach at Archbishop Prendergrast High School. During her tenure, she led Prendie to seven Catholic League Southern Division Championships.
Martino graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from St. Joseph's University and received a Master's of Education in Community/Rehabilitation from Temple University.
Martino is the Acting Dean of Learning Support Services at Delaware County Community College.
