LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The National Fast Pitch Coaches Association (NFCA) announced on Wednesday that senior pitcher Marah Range and freshman third baseman Reilly Vicendese were selected to the NFCA Division II Atlantic Region Second Team.
Range, the first all-region pitcher in program history, paced the ESU pitching staff that led the PSAC East in ERA (3.00). Range herself led the east division in wins (14) and strikeouts (109). The Sacramento native impressed against conference foes, holding PSAC opponents to a .227 batting average and a 2.42 ERA. In 23 appearances this season, Range has allowed three earned runs or less in 18 contests.
Vicendese, a freshman from Ellicott City, Md. was the only Warrior to appear and start in all 40 games this season. A versatile player, Vicendese hit for average (.378 batting average), broke ESU freshman records in hits, total bases, runs and RBIs. She committed just two errors on the season, posting a .984 fielding percentage with 73 assists and 48 putouts.
The PSAC announced earlier on Wednesday that Range was named the PSAC East Pitcher of the Year and earned all-conference first team honors. Vicendese earned All-PSAC East Second Team honors by the conference.
ESU will find out if it has earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament on Sunday night at 10:00 p.m. during the NCAA Division II Softball Selection Show.
