Jay named to District 7 All-Academic First Team

May 3, 2012

Chadron State College’s Angela Jay has been named to the Capital One Academic All-District 7 Softball First Team by the College Sports Information Directors of America.

To be eligible for the all-academic teams, a student-athlete must maintain at least a 3.3 cumulative GPA. Those student-athletes who earned first team recognition in their districts advance to the national ballot, which will be selected later this month. District 7 includes over 140 schools in nine states.

Jay, a senior center fielder and catcher from Victoria, British Columbia, has a 3.89 GPA in physical education and health. She was recently named to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference All-Academic First Team, as well as being first team all-conference.

Jay, who started 96 consecutive games and owns the highest career fielding percentage in school history (.990), was one of the Eagles’ most consistent players during her two-year career. This season, she hit .342 and had an on-base percentage of .403 to lead the team. She also stole four bases and struck out just nine times in 158 at bats. She also scored a team-high 36 runs.

For her career, she hit .352, the third highest career batting average in CSC history, and also ranks in the school’s top 10 in slugging percentage (.542), on-base percentage (.399), runs scored (79), most hits (113), most doubles (26) and most total bases (174).

Four other RMAC players earned District 7 recognition. They are Metro State’s Aubree Maul and Molly Clark, Fort Lewis’ Stephanie Janes and Colorado Mines’ Sarah Lustgraaf.
