HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - Northern Kentucky University’s Kathy Bown has been named Great Lakes Valley Conference co-Coach of the Year in softball. Bown, who led NKU to a school-record 36 wins this season, shared the honor with Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville’s Sandy Montgomery. The Norse are 36-11 and expect to receive a berth in the NCAA Division II Tournament when the pairings are announced Monday. NKU’s Angie Lindeman was named GLVC Freshman of the Year. Lindeman, from North canton, Ohio, is hitting .430 with an NKU single-season record 37 runs batted in. Two other NKU players - freshman pitcher Emily Breitholle and freshman third baseman Carrie Higgins - also earned first team All-GLVC honors. Breitholle, a graduate of Fairfield (Ohio) High School, is the first 20-game winner in Norse history with a 20-4 record. Higgins, a graduate of Seton High School in Cincinnati, is batting .324 with seven doubles. |
