May 9, 2007

Carson, CA -- One week after becoming the only freshman to earn 1st-team All-California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Conference honors, true freshman Katie Jordan (Huntington Beach, CA/Marina HS) one-upped herself by becoming the lone freshman named to the Daktronics 1st-team All-Region team, it was voted on by the West Region’s Sports Information Directors.

Jordan, selected as 1st-team designated player, emerged as the team’s leading hitter, entrenching herself in the starting line-up and finishing the year with the 3rd-best batting average in the CCAA at .392. In addition to leading the Toros in average, hits (49) and runs scored (32), Jordan enjoyed 12 multiple-hit games, including 7 with three hits, and three multiple-RBI contests. Jordan also boasted a team-high 11-game hit streak, a .432 slugging and .422 on-base percentage, and reached a batting average high of .412 as late as April 12.

Humboldt State, which claimed the CCAA Championship as well as the top seed entering tomorrow’s regional tournament, claimed both Pitcher and Player of the year in Lizzy Prescott and Natalie Galletly as the duo combined to lead the Lumberjacks to a 54-6 overall record and a No. 3 national ranking in the school’s first year as a member of the CCAA.
