Personal: Isabella Middleton is from Monroe Township and is pursuing a major in Criminal Justice at Rutgers University-Newark. Standing at 5'5", Isabella plays first base and outfield for the softball team. In high school, she earned recognition on the honor roll and principal's list for her academic achievements. Outside of softball and academics, Isabella enjoys spending time at the beach, volunteering at schools, and going on vacations. Her favorite movies include "The Little Mermaid" and "10 Things I Hate About You," and she admires Harry Styles. Isabella chose Rutgers University-Newark for its academic resources and the opportunity to continue playing softball. She hopes her coaches and teammates will remember her for her positive and driven attitude toward accomplishing her goals. Isabella's father, Steve Middleton, was a D1 gymnast at Kent State, but she doesn't have siblings who played sports in college.
