REDMAN, SCHULTZ, WARNER NAMED ALL-CCAC


For Immediate Release
May 6, 2006

Three University of St. Francis softball players were recently voted to the all-Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference first team, including two repeat selections from 2005.

Sophomore second baseman Jamie Redman (Lincoln-Way Central HS/New Lenox, IL) and junior third baseman Jaci Warner (Plainfield Central HS/Crest Hill, IL) were selected to the honor squad again this season. Junior utility player Stacy Schultz (Romeoville HS/Joliet, IL) earned the distinction for the first time.

Redman led USF in hitting with a .469 batting average, tying the second-best single-season mark in school history. She also topped the team in hits (69), doubles (21, a USF record), total bases (109), slugging percentage (.741), stolen bases (14) and runs scored (54).

Schultz narrowly missed the magical .400 mark in batting average, finishing her third season at USF with a .399 mark. She was twice named CCAC Player of the Week in 2006 (the only Saint to earn the distinction) and enjoyed a career-best 20-game hitting streak that came to an end in the first game of last week’s CCAC Championship tournament.

Warner has now made the all-league team three straight years in as many seasons at USF. She was voted Freshman of the Year in 2004 and Player of the Year as a sophomore in 2005. She hit .387 for the season with team-high marks in home runs (8) and RBI (38). She also eclipsed the USF career home run mark this season and finished the year with a total of 29 career round-trippers.

The Saints concluded their season with a fourth-place finish Thursday in the CCAC tourney. USF finished with a 26-22 overall record and a 10-8 mark in regular-season CCAC play.
