EASTER AND FLORES EARN DIVISION
II ALL-AMERICA HONORS
Become Fifth and Sixth Pioneer All-Americans in Last
Six Seasons
DENTON,
Tex. – Texas Woman's
University softball season may be over, but the honors keep
coming. Junior catcher Stefani
Easter (Troy, TX) and senior
shortstop Teresa Flores (Corpus Christi, TX) earned 2004
Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division II All-America Second and
Third Team, respectively.
The three All-America teams were selected by
NCAA Division II head coaches representing all eight regions.
Easter and Flores were both selected to the All-South Central
Regional First Team and the Lone Star All-Conference First
Team.
Easter becomes the third TWU catcher in as many
seasons to earn a spot on the All-America squad. She spent the
2003 season behind Diamond Catcher of the Year Jami Ingram -
a two-time All-America selection. Easter led her 2004 Pioneers
with 12 home runs and ranked second with a .394 batting average,
67 hits, 46 RBIs and 12 doubles with 53 starts behind the plate.
Flores caps off a stellar four-year career at TWU with her selection to the
All-America Third Team at the competitive shortstop position. The 2004 Lone
Star Conference South Division Player of the Year led the team with a .484
batting average, 92 hits, 21 doubles, 10 triples and 57 RBIs. Flores ends her
career with sole possession of 25 school records and sharing another seven
TWU records for batting and fielding.
Easter and Flores become the fifth and sixth TWU softball players
to earn All-America honors in the last six seasons. She joins
Ingram (2002 & 2003), Sascha
Taylor (2002 & 2003), Nickie Engelbrecht (1999 & 2001) and Cathy Jacobson
(1999).
