FORT MYERS, FLA.- Following their fourth straight Suncoast Conference Championship, 11 Florida SouthWestern State Buccaneers have been named to the league's All-Conference team as announced by the conference on Tuesday.  Rebeca Laudino was named the Suncoast Conference Player of the Year and Kelsi Collins was honored as the Pitcher of the Year.

Lindsey Corbin was named a 1^st Team All-Conference pick on the infield.  She led all players in conference play with a .490 average, starting all 20 games for the Bucs at shortstop.  She drove in 15 and scored 21 runs for FSW in conference action, also stealing eight bases in the process. 

Joining Laudino and Corbin on the 1^st Team on the infield was Madison Johnson.  Playing the hot corner, Johnson hit .421 in conference tilts, scoring 24 runs and driving in another 15.  She put together a 12 game hit streak midway through league play including six straight multi-hit games for the Bucs. 

Paris Woods was named a 1^st Team selection in the outfield for the Bucs.  Her 20 RBI's in conference play trailed only teammate Owen Bowers as she hit .397 with eight extra base hits in 20 conference contests.  Her 14 stolen bases without being caught in league play were the most in the Suncoast. 

The aforementioned Bowers was a 1^st Team pick at designated player after driving home 33 runs in 20 conference games, 13 more than anybody else in the conference.  She also led the league with eight home runs in conference play while hitting .411 and slugging .964. 

On the mound, the Bucs had three first team picks.  Along with Collins, Sarah Lawton and Haley Ellefson were also tabbed 1^st Team selections.  Lawton pitched in half of the Bucs conference matchups, going 5-1 with a pair of saves for FSW.  She worked 35 1/3 innings, posting a 1.58 ERA with 35 strikeouts.  Ellefson was a perfect 5-0 in five conference starts, posting a league low 0.84 ERA, allowing just three earned runs in 25 innings pitched in conference action. 

Three Bucs were named 2^nd Team All-Conference led by first baseman Natavia Ellis.  Ellis put together solid numbers in her first Suncoast Conference season, hitting .443 in league play, cracking eight extra base hits, while driving in 18.  She had eight multi-hit games in conference play including three, three hit contests. 

Stepping in behind the plate for the Bucs due to an injury, Pallas Potter was also named a 2^nd Team pick.  She finished tied for second in conference play with 20 RBI's while popping five home runs and three doubles in 19 contests.
