Four CU Softball Players Named Liberty League All-Stars

Four players from the Clarkson University Softball team were awarded Liberty League All-Star honors when the conference announced its end-of-the-year selections on Tuesday.

Sophomore catcher Zoey Kovach and sophomore pitcher Devin Fitzpatrick earned Liberty League First-Team All-Star nods, while sophomore outfielder Emma Sabourin and senior infielder Bridget Twaits were chosen as Liberty League Second-Team All-Stars.

Kovach finished the season with a .371/.400/.460 slash line, tying for the team lead in hits with 46 and ranking first for the Knights in runs batted in with 19. Her average tied for ninth in the conference while the 46 were tied for fifth in the league. Fitzpatrick was picked as a utility player for her prowess both in the pitching circle and in the batter's box. Fitzpatrick posted a 3.71 earned run average with 97 strikeouts against only 15 walks, contributing eight wins and a save, while also batting .314 with 10 extra base hits and 18 RBI. Fitzpatrick's 97 strikeouts tied for sixth in the Liberty League.

Sabourin hit .339/.394/.426, starting all 37 games in center field without making an error. Sabourin led the team with 24 runs scored, tying her for 11th in the conference, and her 39 hits placed her 15th in the league. Twaits tied for the team lead with a .371 batting average and also had the top on-base percentage at .440. Her 46 hits tied for the team lead with Kovach, placing Twaits in a tie for fifth in the league, and the .440 OBP put her 10th in the conference.
