Delaware’s Laura Streets named CAA Player of Year
Streets, who led the conference in hitting with a .399 batting average, was among five Fightin’ Blue Hens who earned All-CAA first and second team honors. Streets was joined on the first team by freshman pitcher Carolynn Sloat, while senior catcher Laurie Erickson, senior first baseman Liz Winslow and junior designated player Randi Isaacs were named to the second team. Streets, who entering the CAA championship tournament has a chance to become the first Hen in 22 years to hit .400, leads the conference and is sixth in NCAA Division I with 19 doubles. She has an on base percentage of .509, which also leads the conference. Streets is the second Hen to win a conference Player of the Year award, joining Lauren Mark, who was the 2000 America East Player of the Year award. UD’s other All-CAA first team selection, Sloat, has had a phenomenal freshman year. She leads the conference in wins with 17, in strikeouts with 165, and in innings pitched with 219-2/3. She is second in the conference in earned run average, at 1.32. Erickson, the top defensive catcher in the CAA, was named to the second team for the second straight season. She allowed just three passed balls and threw out 17 runners attempting to steal, both best in the conference. Winslow, a senior first baseman, hit .266 and was second on the team with 21 runs batted in. She had a .975 fielding percentage. Isaacs, a junior, earned second team honors as a designated player. She hit .283, with three home runs and 18 runs batted in. She enters the CAA tournament with a 10-game hitting streak, the longest of her career. To learn how to subscribe to UDaily, click here. |
