Five Eagles honored
The FGCU softball team placed five players on the Louisville Slugger/NFCA South All-Region First Team announced by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Thursday. Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year Cheyenne Jenks of Naples earned first-team honors along with seniors Jessica Carter and Jessica Paez, junior Catherine McDaniel, and sophomore Courtney Platt of Naples.
“Our girls helped us have a record-setting season, not only for FGCU Softball and the Atlantic Sun Conference, but for Division I as a whole,” said head coach Dave Deiros. “Their inclusion with the nation’s elite softball players is greatly deserved.”
