Three Pleasantville High School Student-Athletes Commit to Division I College Programs
Three Pleasantville High School student-athletes are taking their talents to the NCAA Division I level, marking an exceptional achievement for the students and the Pleasantville athletic program.
Surrounded by proud family members, coaches, teammates, faculty and friends, seniors Faith Brown, Reed Supranowitz and Lexi Tomaselli were celebrated during a college commitment ceremony led by Athletic Director Dan Iorio.
Iorio emphasized the significance of having three student-athletes from Pleasantville earn opportunities to compete at the highest level of NCAA collegiate athletics. According to national estimates, approximately 7% of high school athletes go on to compete in college, with fewer than 2% reaching the Division I level.
The three Panthers have distinguished themselves not only through their athletic accomplishments, but also through their leadership, dedication and commitment to their teams.
Faith Brown will attend the University of Pennsylvania, where she will play lacrosse for the Quakers and plans to major in biology.
A standout leader on and off the field, Brown has helped elevate Pleasantville’s girls lacrosse program while establishing herself as its all-time points leader. Her exceptional work ethic, talent and dedication have inspired teammates and contributed to the program’s success. Brown also made Pleasantville history on the soccer field, becoming the first girls soccer player in school history to reach 100 career goals.
Reed Supranowitz will continue his baseball career at the University of Rhode Island, joining the Rams. He has not yet decided on a major.
A four-year member of the Panthers baseball program, Supranowitz has excelled both on the mound and at the plate. Over his first three seasons, he compiled a 10-4 pitching record with two saves and a 1.00 earned run average, while holding opposing hitters below a .200 batting average each year. Offensively, he has recorded 10 career home runs, 47 RBIs and an on-base percentage above .500. A two-time All-Section selection, Supranowitz is also recognized for his leadership, focus and willingness to mentor younger players.
Lexi Tomaselli will attend Boston University, where she will play softball for the Terriers and plans to major in health science.
Tomaselli has been a force in Pleasantville softball, setting multiple school records, including 208 career hits and 124 stolen bases. She also established a single-season batting average record of over .700! Her natural instincts, determination and continued growth have made her one of the program’s most accomplished players. Beyond her impressive statistics, Tomaselli has earned the respect of coaches and teammates as a leader both on and off the field.
While each student-athlete has followed a different path to collegiate athletics, all three share a commitment to excellence, perseverance and teamwork. Their achievements reflect years of hard work, the encouragement of their families and the guidance of coaches who have supported their development.
The Pleasantville community congratulates Faith, Reed and Lexi on this remarkable milestone and looks forward to cheering them on as they begin the next chapter of their academic and athletic careers.
