The following is a press release from Concord University:
Concord has placed two players on the 2012 All-WVIAC Softball team, as voted on by the conference's coaches.
Freshman Lacey McDougall made the 2nd Team, while junior Becca Gleason received Honorable Mention accolades.
The Mountain Lions went 20-29 this year, their third straight 20-win season.
On a team with only one senior, McDougall became a mainstay. The freshman from Chesapeake, VA led Concord's regulars in batting average (.390), hits (46), runs batted in (31), slugging percentage (.593) and on base percentage (.433), and tied for the team lead with two triples. She also struck out just 11 times in 118 at bats.
McDougall thrived in pressure situations, leading CU by hitting .368 with runners in scoring position, including going 5-7 with the bases loaded.
The right hander also emerged as one of CU's top pitchers, appearing in 21 games, 12 as a starter. She posted a 7-6 record with eight complete games in 80 innings of work.
McDougall was 7th in the WVIAC in batting average. In the circle, she tied for 20th in the WVIAC in overall earned run average (3.94) and was 18th in ERA in conference games (3.71).
Gleason moved from first base to catcher this season and hit .333. She led Concord with 24 runs scored, tied for the team lead in at bats (135) and was second in hits (45), just one behind McDougall.
The junior from La Plata, MD tied for 26th in the WVIAC in batting average and was second in runners picked off (3).
Concord loses only graduating senior Emily Gallagher from this year's team. The Mountain Lions are expected to unveil their 2013 schedule later this month.
