Titans Place Four on All-CCIW, Region Softball Teams

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. -- Four Illinois Wesleyan University players were named to both the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin all-league softball squad as well as the NCAA Division III Great Lakes all-region teams.
 Juniors Jenny Hayes and Amy Pollitz and sophomores Christie Evitt and Jackie Kloiber were among the 24 players chosen by league coaches to the all-CCIW team. Pollitz and Kloiber were chosen to the second team of the all-region squad while Hayes and Evitt earned third team regional honors.
 Pollitz, a first baseman from Wheaton (North HS), has been on the all-CCIW team for all three of her college seasons and was a first team all-region player a year ago. In 13 league games she batted .250 with one triple and a team-best 11 runs batted in. For the season Pollitz batted .342 with 35 runs batted in, five triples, and two home runs.
 Evitt, a catcher from Naperville (Oak Lawn Community HS), was also on the all-conference team as a freshman. This spring she hit .367 against CCIW opponents with three doubles, one home run and four RBI. Overall, Evitt batted .361 with 10 doubles and 20 RBI.
 Kloiber, a shortstop from Oak Forest (Tinley Park HS), and Hayes, a pitcher from Joliet (West HS), are making their first appearance on the all-conference squad. Kloiber hit .316 in CCIW play with a team-high 11 runs scored. Hayes had a 4-2 record with a 1.40 earned run average.
 For the season Kloiber hit a team-high .393 with 44 hits, 25 RBI, and eight triples, which ties a school record. Hayes was 13-4 with two saves and a 1.71 ERA.
 The Titans were 25-13 overall and 8-5 in the CCIW.
 North Central’s Chris Johnson was the CCIW “Player of the Year” while Amy Gillmore, in her first season at Carthage, was chosen as the league’s “Coach of the Year.”
