5-13-09

CALDWELL, N.J. - Three Caldwell College softball players were named to the Daktronics All-East Region Softball second team, which was announced today. Senior Gina Capardi (West Caldwell, NJ/Caldwell) and junior Danielle Genovese (Livingston, NJ/Livingston) make their second appearances on the all-region team, while Kyrie Timbrook (Los Gatos, CA/Los Gatos) earns her first all-region award.

Capardi was selected to the all-Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference first team last week after batting .327 with 19 doubles, three triples, two home runs and 31 runs batted in this past season. A first team Daktronics All-American and All-Region selection in 2008, the second baseman also had 15 stolen bases and walked a team-best 29 times. At the NCAA Division II East Region Tournament last weekend, Capardi batted .333 (5-for-15) with two runs and two RBI in four games. She leaves Caldwell after recording 135 hits and 82 RBI in two seasons.

Genovese returns to the All-Region team after making the first team as a freshman in 2007. A three-time all-CACC first team choice at shortstop, she batted .320 with 16 doubles and 25 RBI and led the Cougars with 40 runs. During the regular season, Genovese belted a three-run home run in the top of the seventh to beat Molloy College, 3-1 on Apr. 4. She also hit a home run at the East Regional against Le Moyne College on May 10.

Timbrook repeated as an all-CACC first team honoree this year after leading the Cougars in batting average (.364), hits (63), doubles (19), homers (four), total bases (94), and slugging percentage (.543). An all-CACC first team choice in 2008, Timbrook was named the CACC Player of the Week on Apr. 21 after hitting 10 doubles in 11 games. She also committed just two errors in 498 chances at first base and catcher for a .996 fielding percentage.

The Cougars, coached by Dean Johnson, finished the season 37-18-2 and advanced to the NCAA Division II East Region Tournament for the fifth time in six years.
