LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Junior Hope Cornell was named to the 2010 All-PSAC Eastern Division First Team squad as a utility player on Monday morning after voting was conducted by the league's coaches. She started 18 games at second base and 16 games in right field this season.

Cornell was the team's leading hitter this season despite missing the first six games of the year due to injury. She batted .351 at the plate with eight home runs and 25 RBIs while scoring 21 runs. It is the third consecutive year that she has achieved all-conference recognition and the second straight season that she has been a first-team selection.

She served as the team's leader in multiple statistical categories, including batting average, homers, runs, walks and slugging percentage. Cornell also ranked second on the squad in doubles and RBIs and was the PSAC Eastern Division Player of the Week on April 5.

Cornell was particularly effective in divisional play, batting .438 in 16 PSAC East games while getting on base at a .491 clip to go along with 18 RBIs and 21 hits. She finished 11 games with multiple hits this season and will enter her senior season as Shippensburg's all-time home runs leader with 24 through three seasons of work.

This year marks the second year in which voting has been conducted to name all-conference teams for three divisions. First team award winners are the top vote-getter at each position, plus the top two pitchers. Designated players and utility players are combined into one award position. The second team is comprised of the next six top vote-getters regardless of position, plus one pitcher. Coaches are not allowed to vote on their own players.
