SMITHFIELD, RI - Bryant University senior catcher Jordan Dargon (Trumbull, Conn.) was named First Team Louisville Slugger / NFCA Division II all-region in softball announced this week. Dargon, Bryant's only senior, batted .350 this season with 56 hits including nine doubles, 1 home run, and drove in 14 runs. She started every game for the Bulldogs behind the plate and finished with a .988 fielding percentage after committing only three errors in 258 plays defensively.
Joining Dargon on the all-region team was junior outfielder Amanda Wilbur (Lakeville, Mass.) who was named Second Team All-Region by Louisville Slugger and the NFCA. Wilbur was second on the team in 2006 with a .353 batting average and led the Bulldogs with 8 home runs and 35 RBIs. In addition, she added 10 doubles and hit 4 triples this spring in leading Bryant to a 29-18 overall record and second-straight Northeast-10 Conference title and third-straight appearance in the NCAA Division II tournament.
LIU-C.W. Post and Wingate each had five players named first-team
