BIG RAPIDS – Ferris State University Bulldog softball players Holly Bruntjens, a senior, and Amanda Harrington, a junior, earned post-season honors from the National Fastpitch Coaches Association.
All-Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference First-Team selections, Bruntjens and Harrington were named to the NFCA 2009 Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division II All-Midwest Region First Team for their efforts this season on the diamond for the Bulldogs. The honors are deserved for the hard-working players who do not always garner a lot of high-profile attention, but quietly go about getting their work done on a daily basis.
Bruntjens, primarily a pitcher and outfielder, and Harrington, a second baseman, were two important members of a Ferris team that finished 35-10 and advanced to the NCAA Division II Tournament for the seventh time in the history of the program. The Bulldogs entered the season with high expectations and performed well thanks to the contributions of players like Bruntjens and Harrington.
