BEVERLY, Mass. – Junior designated player and first baseman Colleen Martin (Cape Elizabeth, Maine) was named a New England Intercollegiate Softball Coaches Association (NEISCA) Honorable Mention player for her efforts during the 2012 season that helped the Gulls to a berth into the ECAC DIII New England Tournament this weekend.

Nearly two weeks ago, Martin earned an Honorable Mention nod for the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) after batting .347 with 10 extra-base hits including a team-high five homeruns.  Martin drove in 15 runs, crossed the plate 13 times herself and swiped five stolen bases up until the start of the CCC playoffs. 

In Endicott’s conference championship run, Martin batted .364 (4-for-11) with two runs, two RBI, one walk and one stolen base.  She sported a .385 on-base percentage and .545 slugging percentage.

Martin currently leads the team in homeruns (5) and slugging percentage (.605). 

Endicott hosts Worcester State in the quarterfinals of the ECAC DIII New England Tournament at 4:00 pm today at the Endicott Softball Complex.  The Gulls are the \#3 seed at 22-17-1 and the Lancers are the \#6 seed at 21-19.  The winner of today’s game will face the winner of \#7 Simmons (24-16) at \#2 Salve Regina (24-16) tomorrow at 12:00 pm, hosted by top-seeded Brandeis.
