JACKSON – Seven Northwest Rangers have been selected for MACJC postseason honors by a vote of the league's head softball coaches, it was announced on Thursday, May 7.

Sophomore pitchers Jessica Holliday and Kiley Dunagan, as well as freshman catcher Brittany Rochelle, have been named to the MACJC All-State Team.

In addition, six Rangers have been named to the all-north division team. Dunagan, Rochelle, freshman third baseman Erin Claire Stegall, sophomore outfielder Kendall Alford and sophomore designated player Micalah Beall earned first team recognition while freshman outfielder Hanna Hunter was named to the second team.

Dunagan was named the division's best pitcher and Mike Rowan was named north division coach of the year.

Holliday was 10-2 with a 1.77 ERA, four complete games, two shutouts and a save in 71.1 innings of work. She struck out 78 in two seasons against just 11 walks. At the plate, Holliday hit .357 with three doubles, two home runs and 14 RBIs.

Dunagan was 9-4 with six complete games, five combined shutouts, three saves and a 1.67 ERA in 20 appearances. She struck out a team-high 113 and walked just 25 in 88 innings of work, holding opponents to a .207 average. Her two-year total of 182 strikeouts is good enough for fifth all-time at Northwest.

Rochelle led the Rangers in average the entire season, hitting .419 with two doubles, a triple, 12 runs scored and 12 RBIs in the leadoff spot. She also fielded .982 in 167 chances. 

Stegall scored a team-high 25 runs and hit .378 with five doubles, a triple and 14 RBIs in 30 starts at third. She was also a perfect 17-for-17 stealing bases.  

Alford hit .337 with 10 doubles, two triples and a team-high 21 RBIs. She finished her two-year career with 26 doubles, one shy of tying the school-record set by Candice Brasher in 2010-11.

Beall hit .351 with five doubles, 10 runs scored and 15 RBIs and was also 2-1 with a 2.29 ERA in the circle.

Hunter hit .319 with two doubles, a triple and nine RBIs in 27 starts. She also scored 22 runs, second on the team, stole 11 bases and committed only one error in 39 chances.

Northwest won its third division title and first since 2009, finishing the season 27-10 overall.
