PEORIA, Ill. -- Senior outfielders Kelly Kapp and Caitlyn McCarron were both named First-Team National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-Mideast Region selections, while junior catcher Maria Schroeder was a Third-Team All-Mideast pick according to an announcement by the NFCA Thursday.
Bradley was the only Missouri Valley Conference team with two first-team all-region selections and the school-record three honorees by the Braves were second in the MVC only to co-champion Illinois State's four selections. The last time Bradley had a first-team all-region selection was 2013 and Kapp joins Madeline Lynch-Crumrine as the only two-time NFCA All-Region choices in program history.
