NAMPA, Idaho - The Division II Collegiate Commissioners Association (D2CCA) has announced their All-Region honors, and Northwest Nazarene's Brittany Genuardi has been named the West Region Player of the Year to highlight five Nighthawks making the all-region squads.

Along with Genuardi, Sidney Booth and Maia McNicoll also earned First Team recognition. Ivy Hommel and Tori Hensley were named to the Second Team. NNU's five honors led the region, with Concordia-Irvine second at four.

Genuardi is in the top ten regionally in batting average (eighth, .397), doubles (second, 12), on-base percentage (first, .541), and walks (first, .93 per game). The senior catcher was also recently named First Team All-Region by the NFCA and the GNAC Player of the Year, becoming the first NNU softball player ever to receive the honor. One of the best players in NNU history, Genuardi already owns the program records for home runs, RBI, and walks, and is currently second in runs scored, hits, and doubles.

Booth is currently in the top ten in the region in over a dozen different categories across hitting and pitching. In the circle, she is first in strikeouts (163), first in strikeout-to-walk ratio (6.52), first in wins (15), second in strikeouts per game (9.0), second in complete games (14), second in WHIP (0.91), third in hits allowed per game (4.96), and fifth in ERA (1.76), while at the plate she ranks first in RBI (41), third in home runs (9), third in total bases (85), and eighth in slugging percentage (.697). The freshman pitcher/first baseman was also named the GNAC Pitcher of the Year and First Team All-Region by the NFCA.

McNicoll is the regional leader in home runs with 12 on the season while also ranking second with 36 RBI and 90 total bases, and fourth with a .732 slugging percentage. The sophomore outfielder was also named First Team All-GNAC and First Team All-Region by the NFCA.

In the circle, Hensley is the regional leader in walks allowed per seven innings at just 1.17. The junior is also fourth with a 5.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio and fifth with a WHIP of 1.19. Hommel is first in the West Region with 57 hits, 12 doubles, 27 stolen bases, and 102 total bases. The junior shortstop is also ninth with a .393 batting average, third with nine home runs, and seventh with a .703 slugging percentage. Hensley and Hommel were both also named Second Team All-Region by the NFCA.
