Terps' Shaw, Hickey Named to All-Region Team
University of Maryland softball players Breanna Shaw and Kerry Hickey have been named to the 2009 Louisville Slugger/National Fastpitch Coaches Association Division I All-Region team, the NFCA announced.
Shaw, a senior infielder, and Hickey, a sophomore pitcher/designated player, join 24 fellow softball student-athletes comprising the honorees from the Mid-Atlantic Region. Their latest recognition comes one week after Shaw and Hickey garnered All-Atlantic Coast Conference second team honors. The Terrapin duo becomes the 20th and 21st All-Region honorees during the 15-year history of the team's softball program. Hickey is the first non-senior at Maryland to claim the honor since 2002.
A team co-captain, Shaw served as a leader for the Terps throughout the 2009 season. The Ellenwood, Ga., native developed into Maryland's most consistent batter and excelled defensively playing various positions on the infield, particularly second base.
Despite being in only her second collegiate season, Hickey emerged as one of the best two-way players in the ACC this season. The Huntingtown, Md., native was one of three players in the conference (along with North Carolina's Danielle Spaulding and Georgia Tech's Tiffany Johnson) to rank both in the top-10 in pitching and top-25 in batting this season.
Serving as Maryland's ace pitcher, Hickey led the ACC with 19 relief appearances and 18 games finished pitching and tied for the conference lead with four saves. The right-hander, who also served as team co-captain, compiled a record of 12-10 with an ERA of 2.48 and 174 strikeouts in 164.0 innings in the circle this season. Hickey's single-season strikeout total ranks seventh all-time in team history, and her 39 pitching appearances are good for fifth on Maryland's single-season list.
At the plate Hickey provided a strong bat in the middle of Maryland's lineup this season. She batted .279 with a team-high 48 hits, seven doubles and 61 total bases. Hickey also enjoyed a team-best eight-game hit streak during the first eight games of the campaign.
