Caroselli
Earns Academic Honor
WILLIAMSPORT,
Pa. --- Lycoming softball continued its strong postseason awards
period, but this time the honor including more than athletic
ability. Recently graduated second baseman Christine
Caroselli (Newtown, Pa./Pennsbury) was named to the
The Academic All-America program honors more than 800 male and female student-athletes annually who have succeeded at the highest level on the playing field and in the classroom. Individuals are selected through voting by CoSIDA (the College Sports Information Directors of America), a 2,000 member organization consisting of sports public relations professionals for colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. Caroselli more than qualified on both ends. She is a three-time Freedom Conference all-star, having picked up an All-First Team selection in 2005 to go with a pair of All-Second Team nods in 2004 and 2006. Arguably the toughest of the Lady Warriors, Caroselli battled through injury to direct the offense from her customary lead-off spot this season. She finished the campaign with a .287 batting average and led the team with five steals. She eclipsed the .300 plateau twice in her career. Her best year came in 2005 when she batted at a .372 clip thanks to a team-best 32 hits in 86 at bats. As is in any sport but especially so in softball, defense can make or break a team from game-to-game and season-to-season. Second base was not a cause of worry for the coaching staff at any time as Caroselli flashed outstanding leather each year. In 356 total fielding chances in four years, she committed only four errors for an eye-popping .989 career fielding percentage.
Original program voting takes place within eight districts separated throughout the country with any where from two or three teams selected in the University (NCAA Division I-A and I-AA) and College (NCAA Division II, III, and NAIA) divisions. Those on the district first teams become eligible for national Academic All-America honors. To be eligible for Academic All-America program consideration, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.20 on a scale of 4.00, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standings at his/her current institution and be nominated by his/her sports information director. Since the program’s inception in 1952, CoSIDA has bestowed Academic All-America honors on more than 14,000 student-athletes in Divisions I, II, III and NAIA covering all NCAA championship sports.
