Hall of Fame
Stacy Pokora is arguably the greatest outfielder in Rhode Island College softball history. She was a three-time First Team All-Little East Conference (LEC) selection, and was named the LEC Player of the Year following her senior campaign in 2014. She received Helen M. Murphy Award, signifying her as RIC's top female graduating student-athlete in 2015.
Pokora closed out her four-year career at Rhode Island College having played and started in 174 games, missing only one contest in her distinguished career. She batted .392 (189-for-482) with 131 runs scored, 189 hits, 34 doubles, six triples, 30 home runs, 117 RBI, 325 total bases, 57 walks and 42 stolen bases. Pokora owned a .674 slugging percentage, a .453 on-base percentage and a .934 fielding percentage.
At the conclusion of her collegiate career, and to this day, Pokora is the Anchorwomen’s all-time leader in home runs, RBI and slugging percentage. She finished her career ranked second all-time in doubles and total bases (325), third all-time in batting average, hits, runs scored, fourth all-time in stolen bases, and sixth all-time in walks and at-bats (482), and remains in the top-10 today. Pokora appears multiple times on RIC’s single-season leader lists, and still owns to top-three spots for home runs in a season.
As a senior in 2014, Pokora was named the Little East Conference Softball Player of the Year and was named First Team All-Little East for a third straight season. She started in each of her 40 games played, batting .368 (43-for-117) with 32 runs scored, 117 hits, five doubles, one triple, a program-record 11 home runs, 37 RBI, 14 walks and 13 stolen bases. She owned a .709 slugging percentage, a .429 on-base percentage and a .938 fielding percentage.
Pokora was named First Team All-Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) in addition to her First Team All-LEC selection as a junior in 2013. She batted .425 (54-for-127) with 54 hits, 11 doubles, two triples, eight home runs, 29 RBI, 18 walks, eight stolen bases and 35 runs scored, owning a .732 slugging percentage, a .490 on-base percentage and a .894 fielding percentage.
Over the course of her career, Rhode Island College played for the Little East tournament title three times (2011, 2013, 2014), and received an at-large berth in the 2011 NCAA Division III Championship Tournament. The Anchorwomen advanced to the regional final that year, bowing out to LEC-rival Eastern Connecticut in the “if-necessary” game following a 3-1 win over the Warriors to open the regional final, giving RIC a top-16 finish in NCAA tournament.
Pokora earned her bachelor's degree in elementary and special education from Rhode Island College in 2015. She was inducted into the RIC Athletic Hall of Fame in 2022.
