Quinn Adds Louisville Slugger Southeast All-Region Honor

BUIES CREEK, N.C.-Campbell senior leftfielder Courtney Quinn can add one more award to her growing number of accomplishments this season, being named to the Louisville Slugger Southeast All-Region Second Team by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association on Wednesday.

Quinn, in her second and final season at CU after a two-year stint at Okaloosa Walton College, has already picked up All-Atlantic Sun First Team and All A-Sun Tournament spots, while grabbing an all-tournament selection at the Lowcountry College Softball Invitational hosted by Charleston Southern earlier in the season.

The senior is also one of just of seven players in Division I to amass at least 20 home runs in 2008, matching that number last Saturday as Quinn belted a three-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the 10th inning to win the A-Sun Championship for the Camels.

Campbell's leftfielder is also ranked nationally in several other offensive categories, including RBI (0.73 pg, 99th), doubles (0.31 pg, 36th), walks (0.63 pg, 49th) and slugging percentage (.741, 29th). Quinn's 20 homers and 39 walks are CU softball single season records, and her 19 doubles this season rank second all-time.

Quinn is the fifth Camel in program history to be recognized by regionally by the NFCA, and the first since 2005 when Holly Harris took home second team honors. Martha Covington was named all-southeast three times, including 1996, '98 and '99, while Shannon O'Bryan was named to the squad in 2001 and '02. Denelle Hicks was also honored in 1996.

An athletic training major, Quinn has registered 10 multi-RBI games for the Camels this season, including a six RBI tally against Charleston Southern where the senior went 3-for-4 with a homer and two doubles, leading Campbell over the Buccaneers, 9-1, in their Lowcountry College Softball Invitational.

The All A-Sun performer has scored multiple runs 10 times in a game this year, picked up three hits or more on nine occasions and knocked two homers in a game twice, helping the Camels to a 41-23 mark, the second most wins in school history.

Quinn is one of seven in the A-Sun to be honored, with Cheyenne Jenks and Carmen Paez of Florida Gulf Coast grabbing first team accolades, and Morgan Childers of USC Upstate, Amanda Lindsay and Andrea Migliori from Stetson, as well as Jessica Cross of Kennesaw State joining Quinn on the second team.

Quinn and the Camels will face No. 15 Georgia on Thursday in NCAA Softball Regional action, taking on the Bulldogs in a 1 p.m. contest at Williams Field in Chapel Hill, N.C.
