Moravian University sophomore pitcher Madi Cunningham (Whitehall HS) has been selected to the 2023 National Fastpitch Coaches Association Division III All-Region V First Team while freshman pitcher/outfielder Sarah DeStefano (Ringoes, N.J.) and freshman catcher Marcie Silberman (Salisbury HS) earned spots on the All-Region Second Team.

“Another great honor for Madi, Sarah, and Marcie (Scoot),” exclaimed first-year Head Coach Josh Baltz. “All three are very hardworking softball players that are self-driven to be the best player they can be. It is very rewarding to see their hard work result in team success and some individual honors!”

All-Region players are nominated and selected by NFCA member coaches in each of the ten Division III regions. All the All-Region choices are eligible for selection to the NFCA All-America team, which will be announced on May 31.
