The 5-foot-8 senior third baseman led the Cubs to a 13-6 record this past season. The District's returning Gatorade Softball Player of the Year, Love-Baker owned a .550 batting average with 13 home runs, 41 RBI and 33 runs scored. She posted an OPS of 2.132. A First Team Washington Post All-Met selection, she is also a three-time member of the All-Independent School League team and the District of Columbia State Athletic Association All-Star team.
Love-Baker has maintained a B average in the classroom. She has signed a National Letter of Intent to play softball on scholarship at Tennessee Tech this fall.
Love-Baker has volunteered locally on behalf of a Vacation Bible School, her church's youth group and a soup kitchen. "Sydney Love-Baker is just a great ball player," said Kristine Vlach, head coach at Maret School. "She's been absolutely phenomenal at third base, and her bat is unbelievable. She's been a big threat ever since her freshman year; she seems to hit a home run every game."
