Toman Named
ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Region
Schreiner Softball junior Patsy Toman has been
named First Team Academic All-District by ESPN
The Magazine. Only 11 players are chosen
for the honor in District VI (South Region)
which is made up of more than 60 NCAA Division
II (scholarship) and III (non-scholarship)
programs in just the region alone.
Schreiner is a member of NCAA Division III.
Only two pitchers were chosen and only three
Division III players earned the award.
With this nomination, she now has a chance to
earn Academic All-America honors. The
award is based on a combination of academic
excellence and playing achievement.
A 4.0 student in Exercise Science, Toman had a
successful year both in the classroom and on the
diamond. Early in the season, Toman was
splitting the pitching duties with freshman
Becca Hay. Hay was hit by a pitch 11 games
into the season and broke her arm. With
the season-ending injury to Hay, Toman became
the only starting pitcher for Schreiner's
emerging softball team. She threw more
than 200 innings and compiled a 13-19 record and
4.42 ERA for a Mountaineer team that had it's
best season in recent memory, winning 10 games
and finishing fourth in the ASC West. Not
surprisingly, Toman earlier earned American
Southwest Conference Academic All-Conference
recognition as well.
Toman also batted .250 on the season.
Prior to 2008, Toman had never started a college
game during her career. The academic
All-Region and All-American awards are selected
by CoSIDA, which is national organization of
Sports Information Directors. |
