REEVES EARNS A SPOT ON NFCA ALL-EAST REGION TEAM

STARKVILLE, MS – Sophomore outfielder Olivia Reeves (Poughkeepsie, NY/Arlington) continues to receive postseason accolades for The College of Saint Rose. Reeves was one of just 26 student-athletes that earned a spot on the 2012 National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division II All-East Region squad.

From an overall standpoint, this year’s teams are comprised of 204 student-athletes from 89 institutions spread out over the eight NFCA regions, with a first and second team for each region. NFCA member coaches in each of the eight regions selected this year’s All-Region teams and all honorees are now eligible to be selected to one of three All-American teams.

A second-team pick, Reeves batted .397 (46-for-116) which was the fifth-highest average in the Northeast-10 Conference. She was also among the league's top-10 in slugging (.759/2^nd), walks (31/4^th) and home runs (11/T5^th). Reeves furthermore led the conference with a .527 on-base percentage. She recorded 16 multiple-hit games and strung together a season-long nine-game hitting streak. Reeves was named the NE-10 Player of the Week on one occasion (3/26/12).

Reeves is the lone student-athlete in program history to pick up first-team accolades from the NE-10 throughout the Golden Knights 12-year league tenure. She has been an All-Conference performer throughout each of the past two seasons. She was named to the league’s All-Rookie squad last spring.
