LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Ten softball players from the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) were announced to 2022 All-Region VII Teams by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) on May 16.

The awards honor student-athletes from the Association’s 10 regions with selection to one of three teams.  NFCA member head coaches nominate and then vote for the winners in their respective region.

All honorees move forward to be considered for selection for the three NFCA Division III All-America squads, which will be announced on May 24.

Five players represent the MIAA on the All-Region VII First Team, including Alma's Emma Fraser and Haley Ullrich, Calvin's Kirsten Krause and Addi Warner, and Trine's Adrienne Rosey.  Hannah Falejczyk of Alma, Calvin's Sydney Duong, and Ellie Trine of Trine earned a spot on the Second Team, while Calvin's Hannah Biddlecome and Hope's Arinn King were named to the Third Team.

Trine continues play in the 2022 NCAA Division III Championships this Friday.  The Thunder will host Case Western Reserve for the Super Regional over the next two days.  Game one is slated for May 20 at 2:00 p.m., followed by game two on May 21 at 1:00 p.m.  A third game will follow on Saturday if necessary.

The NFCA (National Fastpitch Coaches Association) is the professional organization for fastpitch softball coaches.  Known for its highly-regarded All-Region and All-America awards, the NFCA also educates and supports softball coaches on a variety of different levels: from podcasts to a comprehensive drills database, to in-person events and a National Convention.
