SB: FARRELLY NAMED DAKTRONICS EAST REGION PLAYER OF THE YEAR AS FIVE DOLPHINS RECEIVE ALL-REGION HONORS

Brookville, N.Y. - Le Moyne College senior Jennifer Farrelly (Latham, N.Y./Shaker) has been named the 2009 Daktronics East Region Softball Player of the Year, as voted on by the region's sports information directors and announced on Wednesday afternoon.

Farrelly was joined on the All-Region team by sophomore pitcher Jenna Vanacore (Hicksville, N.Y./Holy Trinity), junior second baseman Kelly Schweikert (Rochester, N.Y./Spencerport), junior left fielder Bailey Phillips (Rochester, N.Y./Greece-Arcadia) and freshman outfielder/designated player Kelcie Cashel (Lacona, N.Y./Sandy Creek).

Farrelly, named the Northeast-10 Conference Player of the Year earlier this month, also earned a spot on the Daktronics First Team as a designated player and Second Team as a pitcher. In 50 starts this season, Farrelly ranks fourth in the conference with a .381 batting average, tied for third with nine home runs and 13 doubles and has posted a conference-best 44 runs batted in, while also registering 29 runs scored. In the pitcher's circle, the righty has an 18-4 record (the third-most wins in the NE-10), a 1.17 ERA to rank third in the conference and 136 strikeouts over a team-high 161 innings pitched.

Schweikert, named to the first team at second base, is one of just two Dolphins to start all 53 games this season. Schweikert, who is second on the team with a .357 batting average, leads the Dolphins and the conference in runs scored (42), doubles (17) and stolen bases (a program-record 24). She is also second in the conference and on the team in hits (61) and runs batted in (39), while blasting nine home runs to tie for third in the conference.

Vanacore, a first team selection after also garnering first team honors from the Northeast-10, leads the conference and ranks seventh nationally in earned run average at just 0.90. She also places second in the conference in strikeouts with 157 and has posted 21 victories, the second-best total in the conference, in 147 innings of action. She also leads the team, and is second in the conference, with nine shutouts and has held opponents to a .175 batting average, good for second-best in the NE-10.

Phillips, named second team All-Northeast-10 for her play in left field, earned a spot on the Daktronics Second Team. Phillips ranks fourth on the team in batting average at .346 and third in runs scored with 31 (ninth in the NE-10), while placing third with 53 hits (seventh in the NE-10). Phillips has also posted a career-best 14 stolen bases on the campaign, good for fourth on the team and tied for eighth in the conference.

Cashel, recognized as a second team outfielder, has posted a .391 batting average as a starter in 33 of 45 games played this year, to go along with 29 runs scored (15th in NE-10) and 15 stolen bases (7th in the NE-10). Cashel, who has started each of the last 21 games, in which the Dolphins are 20-1, has registered a .414 average, six doubles, three home runs, 21 runs scored, 14 runs batted in and seven steals since being inserted into the starting line-up on a full-time basis.

Le Moyne (43-10), which entered the NCAA Tournament ranked 12th nationally and has won 12 consecutive games and 20 of its last 21 contests, will host Georgian Court this weekend in the NCAA East Super Regional. The best-of-three series will begin on Friday with a single game starting at 1:00 p.m. The series will continue on Saturday at 11:00 a.m., with the "if necessary" game following at 1:30 p.m. The Dolphins will be playing Georgian Court for the first time in the program's history.
