Suffolk University Softball senior Erin McAndrews (Marblehead, Mass.) was named a first team All-Region selection for the Northeast by the Nastional Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA).

The 2014 season marks the second consecutive year that she has been recognized as one of the top players regionally as she also earned second team honors last year.

McAndrews had a banner year in 2014 as she set the Suffolk University single season record for hits with 68 and also set a new mark with nine triples. She currently ranks third among all NCAA Division-III players with those nine triples and is 25th among all players in batting average (.486).

She was earlier named a first team All-Conference selection by the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC). She led all players in the GNAC in most offensive categories. Alongside her league high totals in hits and triples, she also finished tops in the conference in several other categories; batting average (.486), doubles (15), runs batted in (43), on-base percentage (.549) and slugging percentage (.807).

In 2013 McAndrews was tabbed as the GNAC's top player as she took home Player of the Year honors along with a first-team All-Conference selection to go with her NFCA second team All-Region selection.

After transferring into Suffolk after her freshman season, McAndrews has put together an impressive statistical career in three years. She ranks second all-time in program history in doubles (42), triples (21), RBI (123) and total bases (285), third in slugging percentage (.760), fourth in home runs (12), and fifth in hits (165), on-base percentage (.498) and batting average (.440).

Suffolk wrapped up the 2014 season as the number five seed in the GNAC Tournament. Suffolk won seven of their last eight league games to finish with an 11-11 conference record. They reached the GNAC semifinals before falling to Simmons College 6-1. Suffolk finished with a 21-23 overall record for the 2014 season.

McAndrews is set to earn her Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice Studies this coming May. She will continue her academic pursuits as she was recently accepted and will attend Law School at UMass-Dartmouth.
