LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Highlighted by East Stroudsburg University's first-ever Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference East Pitcher of the Year honor, the PSAC announced on Wednesday that seniors Marah Range, Morgan Walsh and freshman Reilly Vicendese earned all-conference recognition.

Range was named PSAC East Pitcher of the Year and collected first-team honors, while Reilly Vicendese (3B) and Morgan Walsh (DP) were selected to the conference's east second team.

Range, a native of Sacramento, becomes ESU's first-ever PSAC East Pitcher of the Year and first-ever Warriors' pitcher to earn first-team all-conference honors. She led the PSAC East with 14 victories and 109 strikeouts on the season, posting a 2.89 ERA through 116.1 innings of work. Against conference foes, Range held opponents to a .227 batting average with a 2.42 ERA. In 23 appearances this season, Range has allowed three earned runs or less in 18 contests.

Range is the first Warrior to earn a major conference award since Sierra Wagner earned PSAC East Freshman of the Year in 2013. Range also becomes ESU's first hurler to be recognized on an all-conference team, since Rachael Ligouri and Allison Mende earned second-team honors in 2014.
