ANNVILLE, Pa. (May 10, 2022) Senior Meg Halloran and sophomore Madison Subbiondo of the Stevens Institute of Technology softball team were named First Team All-MAC Freedom to lead the Ducks' all-conference selections, the league office announced Wednesday.

Junior Jessica Guerrero was named to the league's Second Team. Graduate student Siobhan Cottell and senior Olivia Warner each received an honorable mention to round out the Ducks' all-conference recognition.

DeSales' Kylie Bryant was named the league's Player of the Year, while Lycoming's Kylie Russell was tabbed the top pitcher. Misericordia's Gianna Foreman was chosen as the Rookie of the Year, with Lycoming coach Melissa Montoro earning Coach of the Year honors to round out the individual awards.

Halloran was named to the first team for the third straight season, earning her fourth career all-conference selection after leading the Ducks, and ranking second in the MAC Freedom, with a .468 batting average. She ranked first in the conference in hits with 58. The Oakland, New Jersey product set the program record in career hits with 199, breaking the previous record of 198 set by Gavriella (Risman-Jones) Everett 16'. She went a perfect 25 for 25 on stolen bases this season, another career record she owns as she has tallied 80 during her time at Stevens. Halloran hit her first two career home runs in a game against Delaware Valley on April 26.

Subbiondo collected her first career postseason honor, making the first team as a utility player. She started 24 games on the season, 13 of which came in right field, eight at catcher, and three as a designated player. She posted a .438 batting average which was second on the team behind Halloran and fourth in the conference. She also led the Ducks in home runs as she tallied four on the year.

Guerrero earned the second team nod as an infielder. This marked her first second team award and her second career postseason award. The junior was a staple in the Ducks lineup this season as she hit .372 to finish third on the team and 12th in the conference. She recorded 45 hits on the campaign which saw her finish 8th in the conference. Not only was she productive at the plate, she was also a menace in the infield, doing most of her work at shortstop. The Arcadia, California native led the MAC Freedom in assists as she had 89 for the season, seven more than second place. Also playing a few games at catcher, she caught three players stealing.

Cottell and Warner received an honorable mention from the league office after combining for 67 hits and two homers and 18 RBI on the year. Warner tallied a team high 35 RBI on 40 hits.
