ECAC Division I Softball All-Star Teams

Bronx, N.Y. - Lindsey Kay Bright took home one final award for the 2012 season on Wednesday as the ECAC named her to its Division I All-Star Team. The Federal Way, Washington, native capped an outstanding senior season being named Second Team All-ECAC to go along with her previous First Team All-Atlantic 10 and Second Team NFCA All Mid-Atlantic accolades earned earlier last month.

Bright closed out her senior season leading the team in batting (.338), on base percentage (.377), stolen bases (nine) and sacrifices (six). She was named Atlantic 10 Player of the Week on March 12, a week which saw her go a perfect 9-for-9 at the plate.

Over her career, Bright collected 206 hits, while swiping 66 career bases. She set the rookie mark with 29 steals in 2009. Bright finished her career with a .308 lifetime average and scored 119 runs and became just the fifth Fordham softball player to eclipse the 200-hit plateau when she picked up a base hit against Dayton on April 27.

The Rams finished the 2011-12 season with an overall mark of 32-26, winning 30 games for the tenth straight season. The team had five players earn All-Atlantic 10 honors and defeated its highest ranked opponent ever with an 8-5 victory over #3/4 Alabama in May.
