Starkville, MS - The National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) announced the 2010 Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division III All-Region Teams. The Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) is proud to announce that six student-athletes were awarded on the East Regional First and Second teams.
Centenary College’s catcher Cara Montferrat (Fr., Hightstown, NJ/Hightstown) and Neumann University’s first basemen Jennifer Goslin (Sr., Coatsville, PA/Coatesville) were both named to the East Region First-team. Second Team recipients include Centenary’s pitcher Kristin Durborow (Jr., Manahawkin, NJ/Southern Regional), and shortstop Caitlin Veverka (Soph., Bayonne, NJ/Holy Family Academy), Marywood University’s third basemen Ashley Dommes (Soph., Scranton, PA/West Scranton), and Philadelphia Biblical University’s outfielder Caroline DeHart (Jr., Barnstead, NH/Home School).
The idea for a softball coaching association first developed from discussions at the National Collegiate Women's Softball Championships in the early 1980s. Although mostly collegiate coaches comprised the organization's membership in the early days, today's college coaches are joined by high school and travel ball/club coaches, umpires, as well as other fans of fastpitch softball. In 1997, the Association's membership reached the 2,000 mark, and today there are more than 4,100 members.
Besides services offered to the membership, the NFCA works with USA Today in producing polls for NCAA Division I and high school softball. In addition, NCAA Division II and Division III polls are produced. The NFCA also conducts collegiate tournament competitions, as well as recruiting camps throughout the nation. An annual NFCA National Convention is held every December.
