SB: Five Wildcats Earn All-Conference Awards; Reinold Named NEAC Player and Pitcher of the Year.

GANSEVOORT, N.Y. – The North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) has announced its 2015-16 Softball North Division All-Conference Team selections. SUNY Poly had five players named to the All-Conference teams; one first team and four second team. Fallon Reinold was named the NEAC North Division Player of the Year and the North Division Pitcher of the Year after her impressive senior season.

Fallon was incredible this season. The NEAC press release had this to say about her impressive feat.

 "After a dominant all-around season, SUNY Polytechnic Institute senior Fallon Reinold (Holland Patent, N.Y.) was chosen as both the NEAC North Player of the Year and North Pitcher of the Year.  Fallon was tremendous at the plate, in the circle and in centerfield across the season for the Wildcats as she helped her squad lock up a playoff spot in this weekend's conference tournament with a 12-7 division record. As a hitter, she led her squad with a .388 batting average while smacking three home runs, five doubles and a triple to drive in 22 runs and score 26 more herself.  Reinold also made 15 appearances in the pitcher's circle, posting division-leading totals of nine wins and an 8.47 strikeouts-per-game average after whiffing 104 batters through 12 complete games and 86 total innings of work.  She also recorded a 2.20 ERA and held her opponents to a .229 batting average on the season, to go with a .950 fielding percentage through 32 contests.  A Player of the Week selection earlier this season, Reinhold also landed on the All-Conference North First Team." 

The Wildcats also had four All-Conference Second Team selections, listed below.

Taylor Hines (Mechanicsville, N.Y.) had a great season for the Wildcats. She hit .315 in her freshman campaign.
