Handy and Adams Named USCAA All-Americans

The USCAA named two Christendom students to their All-American softball team this past week, making Christendom one of only a handful of schools to have more than one student selected this year.

Rising seniors Sophie Adams and Mary-Grace Handy were both chosen by the USCAA for the honor. The All-American award is given out only to players voted on by all of the USCAA's coaches, making the accomplishment even more notable.

Adams was named to the All-American First Team, one of only fifteen selected for the highest ranking. Looking at her season stats, it's no surprise to see her honored in such a way. Adams was 3^rd in the USCAA in batting average, hitting an astounding .574 for the season. She was 1^st in on base percentage with .639, 5^th in triples with 5, and 6^th in slugging percentage with a .934 average. Adams also performed exceptionally well as a pitcher, ranking 3^rd in the league with 7.45 strikeouts thrown per game.

Handy was named as an Honorable Mention for the All-American team. Handy tore up the diamond this season, ranking 3^rd in triples with 6 and 8^th in stolen bases with 17. She also ranked 17^th in batting average with .485, 11^th in slugging with .853, and converted 5 double plays on the year.
