She registered 38 put outs and two assists as an outfielder.

2005: D'Alessandro has provided the team with another solid reserve who can contribute in a variety of ways. The rookie played in the outfield and the infield at several different positions. Plus, D'Alessandro worked her way into the lineup as pinch runner and as a pinch hitter. She collected a base hit in nine games, including a two-hit performance against Stony Brook on April 12. She drove home a base runner in two different games - Rhode Island and St. Francis. In that St. Francis game, D'Alessandro also tallied a pair of runs, which helped her post nine runs scored in her 47 games (18 starts). D'Alessandro also performed well on the base paths, picking up a pair of steals in three attempts. She played flawless defense during the campaign, registering 19 put outs with one assist and no errors.
