Monroe University Bronx

Hilda Sanchez was promoted to assistant coach for the Monroe University - Bronx softball team in September of 2025. She spent the previous season as a coaching intern for the program. 

As the coaching intern during the 2025 season, Sanchez helped lead the Express to a berth in the Region 15 Championship Round. Nine Monroe - Bronx student-athletes were selected to the All-Region team, including five honorees who earned first-team accolades. 

No stranger to the Monroe University - Bronx family, Sanchez was a student-athlete for the Express during the 2023 and 2024 seasons, competing as both a pitcher and infielder. In both years, she landed on the NJCAA All-Academic second team and earned a spot on the Region 15 All-Academic team.

In 2024, Sanchez helped her team capture the Region 15 Championship. She earned All-Region first team honors and claimed a spot on the Region 15 All-Tournament team. Sanchez was also named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District College Division At-Large team, an accolade that honors a student-athlete's performance both in athletics and in academics. In the circle during her sophomore year, she pitched 106 innings and struck out 56 batters. At the plate in 2024, Sanchez scored 17 times, generated a batting average of .295, produced 28 hits, drove in 23 runs, drew 14 walks, and stole eight bases. 

In May of 2024, Sanchez was the recipient of the Express softball team's Pitcher of the Year Award at the Monroe Express Athletic Department's Annual Awards Ceremony.
