LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The NFCA is proud to announce the 360 players chosen for the 2018 NFCA Division III All-Region softball teams. Miranda Barker from Salem College was selected to the Atlantic Region Second Team.
As in the past, the squad is comprised of three 15-player teams in each of the country's eight NCAA regions. Barker was a pitcher and outfielder for the Spirits in her first season. Barker hit .407 with a .431 on base percentage. She had 57 hits with 15 doubles and 2 home runs. On the mound, she was 14-4 with a 2.43 ERA. Barker was selected to the USA South First Team All-Conference and First Team East Division.
Eight schools had four players chosen, while 29 schools — including top-ranked defending national champion Virginia Wesleyan — had three selections apiece. Forty-four other schools had two on the list, and 78 had one player chosen.
All-Region players are nominated and selected by NFCA member coaches in each of the eight Division III regions. First team All-Region choices are eligible for selection to the NFCA All-America team, which will be announced the evening of May 23 online at NFCA.org and in person at the NCAA Division III Championship banquet in Oklahoma City.
