SELECTED TO ALL-CCAC TEAM
For
Immediate Release
May 4, 2005
Four
University of St. Francis softball players
were recently voted to the all-Chicagoland
Collegiate Athletic Conference team,
including sophomore third baseman Jaci
Warner (Plainfield Central H.S./Crest
Hill, IL), who was selected as the
CCAC’s Player of the Year.
Joining
Warner on the first team were
sophomore first baseman Gina Procissi
(Bishop Noll H.S./Whiting, IN),
freshman shortstop Jamie Redman (Lincoln-Way
Central H.S./New Lenox, IL) and
junior designated hitter/pitcher Jenny
Schade (Waubonsie Valley H.S./Aurora,
IL).
Warner,
the conference’s Freshman of the
Year in 2004, is currently the league
leader in slugging percentage (.757),
RBIs (49), RBIs per game (1.09) and
doubles (14 - tied). She also is second
in home runs (11), third in home runs
per game (0.24) and doubles per game
(0.31), sixth in runs scored (33), seventh
in runs per game (0.73) and eighth in
batting average (.389).
The
11 homers are the second most ever by
a Lady Saint for a season, while the
49 RBIs are tied for the fourth-best
total for a year.
Procissi,
a .316 hitter who was honorable mention
all-conference as a freshman, is tied
for third in the CCAC in triples (5)
and tied for fourth in triples per game
(0.11). She ranks first among the USF
starters with a .986 fielding percentage
and is third on the team with 43 hits,
five home runs and seven doubles.
In
the CCAC standings, Redman is
second in runs (41) and runs per game
(0.85), fifth in batting average (.402),
sixth in stolen bases (13), seventh
in stolen bases per game (0.27) and
eighth in slugging percentage (.604),
home runs (6) and home runs per game
(0.13 - tied).
Along
with those totals, Redman leads
St. Francis with 68 hits and needs just
three more to move into a fifth-place
tie in team history for hits in a season.
She can also tie for fifth on the Lady
Saints’ all-time list with five
more runs scored.
Schade,
competing in her first season at USF,
has contributed as both a hitter and
pitcher. Offensively, she is tied for
first in the conference in triples per
game (0.14) and tied for third in triples
(5), while placing fourth in batting
average (.404) and 10th in slugging
percentage (.564).
On
the mound, Schade is third in
the CCAC in strikeouts per seven innings
(6.41) and victories (13 - tied) and
fourth in ERA (2.26) and winning percentage
(.542, 13-11).
The
Lady Saints are 25-25 overall and finished
third in the conference with a 10-8
mark. USF will play host to the six-team
CCAC Tournament from May 4-6.
