LOUISVILLE, Ky. --- The National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) announced the 383 student-athletes from 170 schools who comprise the 2025 NFCA Division III All-Region teams.
Among those 383 announced are nine student-athletes representing three Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) institutions.
Concordia University Wisconsin led all NACC schools with four honorees, led by first-team catcher Megan Bloyer. Shortstop Jess Pozezinski was named to the second team, while pitcher Emma Shellstrom and utility player Kaitlyn Way were third-team selections.
Dominican University pitcher Emma Woodhouse joined Bloyer on the all-region first team, while teammate Bella Olmos was named to the third team at second base.
Benedictine University had three student-athletes selected to the third team - pitcher Mckenzie Johnson, catcher Morgan Bruno, and third baseman Haley Barnes.
The awards honor student-athletes from the Association’s 10 regions with selection to one of three teams. NFCA member head coaches nominate and then vote for the winners in their respective region.
If they were not already voted to an All-Region squad, conference Players and Pitchers of the Year from member institutions are added to the third team in their region, so long as they are nominated by their member head coach and receive votes.
All honorees move forward to be considered for selection for the three NFCA Division III All-America squads, which will be announced May 28 online and on-site at the NCAA Division III Finals banquet in Bloomington, Ill.
