5-27-09
CALDWELL,
N.J. - Caldwell College junior outfielder Ray Keelan (Barnegat,
NJ/Southern Regional) was selected an Eastern College Athletic Conference
Division II Baseball All-Star, the organization announced today. Keelan was
one of just three outfielders on the All-Star Team, which includes players
from Division II institutions which are members of the ECAC.
This past season, Keelan established himself as one of the top hitters in
the East Region, earning All-East Region honors from Daktronics and the
American Baseball Coaches Association while also being included on the
Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference first team. He led the Cougars in
seven offensive categories, including batting average (.387), hits (58),
home runs (eight) and runs batted in (48), and was the only player in the CACC
to rank among the top three in homers (second), RBI (second) and batting
average (third). A two-time all-CACC second team honoree, Keelan ranks
second all-time at Caldwell with 176 hits in his career.
The ECAC's membership includes
319 colleges and universities from Maine to North Carolina and westerly to
Illinois. Caldwell student-athletes have received weekly and year-end honors
from the ECAC since joining the organization in 2004, and the men's and
women's soccer teams and men's and women's basketball teams have competed in
ECAC championship tournaments. Keelan is the fifth Cougar to be named an
ECAC Baseball All-Star.
Caldwell, coached by Jay Messina, finished the 2009 season 18-23,
including a CACC record of 12-15.
