Three Griffins Garner Midwest All-Region Team Selections
St. Louis, MO- Three Fontbonne University softball players have earned National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division III All-Region honors for the Midwest region. This is the fifth year in a row Griffins have earned All-Region accolades.
Senior Sarah Cerutti (center field) and juniors Cassi (first base) and Danni Glixman (third base) have been named to the Midwest All-Region second team.
Cerutti earns second team All-Region for the second time in her career. She also joined the 2012 NFCA All-Region team. This season Cerutti is currently tied for the Fontbonne all-time season home run record and leads this year's team with 11 home runs batting out of the #6 spot in the Griffin lineup. After this season she will own the career home run record. She is also the top Griffin in slugging percentage and tied for second with 16 stolen bases.
This is Cassi Glixman's third year earning All-Region honors as well. Cassi was named to the second team her freshman year and first team last season. This season Cassi was the SLIAC Player of the year with zero strikouts in conference play. She hits in the #3 slot this season.
Danni, the Griffin's cleanup hitter, was a third team All-American last season and previous two-time first team All-Region player earning All-Region honors for her third straight year. Danni has also been named to the Regional All-Tournament Team each of the last two seasons.
The Glixman sisters lead the Griffins in batting average, are second and third in slugging percentage, first and third in doubles and second and third in home runs.
