BASEBALL
Millersville saw its baseball season end last Wednesday in an elimination game in the NCAA Division II Championship when the Marauders fell to No. 2 Mount Olive 5-2. Junior Chris Edgar (North Penn) contributed a base hit for the Marauders, who closed out their season with a 44-12 record and a .786 winning percentage – the best in school history. On Monday, Millersville earned a 1-0 win over No. 3 Central Missouri. Edgar had one of nine hits for the Marauders. Millersville entered the NCAA Championship ranked No. 6 and faced three top-three opponents. Millersville was one of six teams remaining when it was finally eliminated. Edgar closed out the season with a .344 batting average (61-of-189) with nine doubles and a .418 slugging percentage.
Dan Seitzinger (Central Bucks West) played in 17 of 40 games for the 2010 Landmark Conference champion Moravian College Greyhounds. Seitzinger, who played second base for CB West and Doylestown American Legion post 210, was transitioned to the role of backup shortstop for his freshman season. Moravian finished with a 17-1 record in Landmark Conference play and an overall record of 31-9, setting the single-season school record for wins. Seitzinger hit .258 in 31 at-bats, scored six runs and turned seven of the team’s 25 double plays in limited action. In one of his six starts on March 27 at Susquehanna University, Seitzinger tied the school record for second-most assists (eight) in a single game.
Monmouth senior Ryan Terry (Harry S. Truman) was named to the Louisville Slugger/TPX All-American Third team, Collegiate Baseball officials announced Thursday morning. Terry became the fifth player in program history to earn All-American status and the first Hawk since 2003. Terry joins two-time All-American First Team selection Jay Law as the only Hawk to earn the Northeast Conference Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year honors. He is the fourth player in league history to accomplish that feat. The infielder, who was named New Jersey Collegiate Baseball Association (NJCBA) Player of the Year, also was named CollegeBaseballInsider.com’s National Player of the Week after the Hawks’ weekend sweep of Long Island in early May. The infielder started 55 games for the Blue and White in 2011, registering a .382 average, good for second in the league, while leading the NEC in hits (84), runs scored (53), doubles (19) and total bases (128). The senior’s 43 RBIs and seven home runs place him second and third in the conference respectively. This season, the Truman alum became Monmouth’s all-time hit king, logging 274 career base hits while also moving up to first on the doubles chart with 66 career two-baggers. Monmouth, which claimed the 2011 NEC regular season championship, finished one win shy of tying the school record with 37 victories. The Blue and White set the program record for league victories with 25, erasing the previous mark of 23 set in 2002.
WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
Senior Addie Micir (Council Rock North) was one of five Princeton winners of the C. Otto von Kienbush Award, which is given annually to the top senior sportswoman at Princeton. A psychology major, Micir was selected unanimously as the 2011 Ivy League Player of the Year in women’s basketball, making her the first player in Princeton history to receive the honor. After going 7-23 her freshman year, Micir has helped the Tigers post a 50-8 record during the last two seasons, including a 27-1 Ivy League record and back-to-back Ivy League championships. Princeton also made its first two trips to the NCAA Tournament, and the team earned the Ivy League’s two best seeds in its history. A four-year starter, she ranks ninth all-time in scoring at Princeton with 1,188 points. In addition, Micir is the best free throw shooter in Princeton history with a career mark of 81.8 percent, and she ranks second all-time in school history in three-point field goal percentage at 41.5 percent. Micir’s senior thesis was entitled: “Dumb Jocks Syndrome: Effects of Stereotype Threat on Student Athlete Academic Performance.”
