DOVER, Del. – Freshman standout Tara Tursellino added to her yearly accolades Thursday afternoon by receiving National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Mid-Atlantic All-Region Third Team honors, after going 13-6 on the year with a 1.97 ERA and seven saves to lead Hornet pitchers. 

Additionally, Tursellino surrendered 35 earned runs, 30 walks and tallied 72 strikeouts in 124 innings of work, while batting .213 with 32 hits, 23 RBI and two home runs at the plate.

The all-region teams were voted on by NFCA member coaches from each respective region, and all the honorees now become eligible for selection to one of three 2014 NFCA Division I All-American teams.

Last week, the Moreno Valley, Calif. native, earned MEAC Rookie of the Year and Second Team All-MEAC recognition.
