CALDWELL, N.J. - Senior softball player Nicole Bodrog (Mt. Laurel, NJ/Lenape) was selected as Caldwell College's recipient of the New Jersey Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (NJAIAW) Woman of the Year Award. Bodrog and her fellow collegiate and high school honorees were honored at Seton Hall University as part of the National Girls and Women in Sports Day celebration on Sunday, Feb. 3.

"Nicole is very deserving of this special honor," said Assistant Director of Athletics Linda Cimino, who also serves as Caldwell's Senior Woman Administrator. "She is an excellent leader and a personable young woman who participates in several activities on campus in addition to her dual role as a student-athlete. She certainly has a bright future ahead of her."

Bodrog is majoring in both Communication Arts and English at Caldwell. An infielder for the Cougars' softball team, she is a two-time member of the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference All-Academic Team, which requires a cumulative grade-point average of 3.5 or higher. Last spring Bodrog was selected to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District third team. A key part of Caldwell's CACC Tournament championship squads in 2005 and 2006, Bodrog has earned all-CACC second team honors in each of the past two seasons. Last year, she hit .329 with six home runs and 29 runs batted in while being named to the CACC All-Tournament Team. A career .322 hitter, Bodrog has 127 hits in 142 games at Caldwell.
