PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The Temple University softball team will hold a memorial on campus for former player and 2009 graduate Chante' Pleydle. Pleydle was killed in a car accident on July 30, 2010, in Jacksonville, N.C.

The 23 year old Pleydle, originally from Victorville, Calif., was serving in the United States Marine Corp at Camp Johnson, a satellite facility of Marine Corp Base Camp Lejeune.

Pleydle played two years for the Cherry and White after transferring from Frank Phillips College as a junior. A starter in 59 of the 61 games she played in, the outfielder was a constant threat to opponents on the base path. In two seasons, she was caught stealing only two times in 22 attempts.

The memorial will be held on Thursday, September 23, in the Fox Gittis Room of the Liacouras Center at 7 p.m. It is open to all who wish to attend.
