and on-base percentage. This season, the senior from Elgin,
Ill. hit .346 with a home run and 26 RBIs and led the team

season.
Sophomore shortstop Jenny Bernard is a second-team member
and is joined on the team by senior catcher Sara Szpekowski.

in hits with 40 and led the team in runs scored with 21. Szpekowski
finished third on the team in average (.289) and RBIs with

"This is a great accomplishment for the three of them,"
said head coach Donna Crone. "Megan has led the team
all four years here and this is a great way to cap her career.
Jenny is an emerging star in the league, and Sara's leadership
on and off the field was important to the success of the team."
