LOUISVILLE, KY – The National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) named the 2016 All-Region team today (Monday, May 16, 2016), and Wilmington College has a representative.
Sophomore Savannah Hooper (Leesburg, OH/Wilmington) was named second team All-Central Region as an at-large selection. It marks the first time since Caitlin Shilling earned first team honors and Danielle Monnier earned third team honers in 2014.
"Savannah had a great season," said Wilmington head coach Beth Floyd. "She is a tremendous player that holds herself and others to high standards. She is very deserving of this award, and I am extremely blessed to get to be her coach. She is a remarkable young lady."
Hooper, who was named WC's Female Athlete of the Year, finished third in the OAC with a team-high .472 batting average, which is the third-best average all-time at Wilmington College.
The sophomore outfielder also finished fourth in the OAC with 20 stolen bases. Hooper's 50 hits are also third all-time in school history.
This just adds to the list of accolades for Hooper, who was named second team All-Ohio Athletic Conference, Academic All-OAC and CoSIDA Academic All-District.
