CAPE COD, Mass. - Junior outfielder April Setterlund has been named the 2010 ECAC Division I Softball Player of the Year, the organization announced on Thursday evening. Setterlund led the Terriers with a .482 batting average - good for fifth in the country - and ranks in the top ten in slugging percentage (7th, .861) and on-base percentage (8th, .579). Her junior campaign helped the Boston University softball team garner its second straight NCAA tournament berth and America East championship.
Setterlund, who is the program's first-ever ECAC Player of the Year, impressed in her junior campaign, and was recently named to the NFCA All-Northeast Region team for her efforts in the batter's box. Over the course of the season, Setterlund broke four single-season records (hits, doubles, RBI and runs) and was two home runs away from another.
Recently, Setterlund was named the America East Player of the Year, while also picking up All-Conference First Team honors for the third straight season, becoming just the sixth player in program history to be named to the first team at least three times.
The Terriers recently wrapped up their season in the NCAA Amherst Region, where they defeated No. 21 UMass for the first time since 1996, thus winning an NCAA game in back-to-back seasons - an America East first since Hofstra accomplished the feat back in 2000 and 2001.
