LOUISVILLE, Ky. --- Samantha Meenaghan (Atlantic Beach, Fla.) has been named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Mid-Atlantic All-Region First-Team for the second time in her career, adding to a long list of accomplishments during her four-year tenure at Gardner-Webb.
Meenaghan is the lone representative from the Big South Conference on the first team, and one of two selections overall as Jessie Hutchens of Radford earned a spot on the second team. The senior outfielder also earned all-region honors from the NFCA in 2012, earning a spot on the first team at second base.
The Atlantic Beach, Fla. native capped her career with a .408 lifetime batting average, finishing as the program's all-time leader in batting average, hits, total bases and runs scored. She was named to the Big South All-Conference First Team each of her four seasons, including Freshman of the Year honors as a rookie.
Meenaghan put together perhaps the best season of her career this spring, leading the team with a .435 batting average, five doubles, four triples, three home runs and 24 runs batted in. She also led the team with 28 multi-hit games this season, including 11 three-hit performances.
