LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Fifth-year senior first baseman Sadie Wise and senior third baseman Kristi Stevenson of the Saint Louis University softball team have been selected to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Mid-Atlantic All-Region third team, the NFCA announced Thursday.
 
SLU placed two players on the All-Region team for a second time in program history. Alex Nickel (first team) and Brianna Lore (third team) were honored in 2015. Wise, who also collected third-team plaudits in 2018, joins Nickel and Lore on the list of Billikens earning two All-Region selections.
 
Wise, who earlier this month was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Conference second team, turned in a .346 batting average, a .529 slugging percentage and a team-high .436 on-base percentage this season. She led the Billikens in multiple-hit games (16), multiple-RBI games (10), batting average with runners in scoring position (.407) and two-out RBI (16), tied for the team lead in RBI (31) and doubles (14), and smacked four home runs and a triple. Wise registered a .998 fielding percentage, committing just one error in 403 chances. She ranked among the league's top 10 in eight categories.
 
In A-10 games, Wise recorded team highs in batting average (.416), hits (32), RBI (19) and on-base percentage (.494).
 
A first-team All-Conference choice, Stevenson enjoyed her best collegiate season. The Billikens' leadoff batter had 14 multiple-hit games and posted career highs in batting average (.327), hits (53), doubles (14, tied for the team lead), RBI (16), total bases (75), slugging percentage (.463), walks (21), runs (32), on-base percentage (.423), stolen bases (10) and assists (league-leading 120). She added two home runs and a triple. Stevenson ranked among the top 10 in the A-10 in five offensive categories and among the top 15 in five others.
 
In conference play, Stevenson batted .390 with team bests of 48 total bases, 12 doubles, a .623 slugging percentage and a 1.107 OPS.
