Gelardi, Stonesifer Garner Daktronics All-Region Accolades

WEST HAVEN, Conn. - University of New Haven softball student-athletes Christina Gelardi (Derby, Conn./Derby) and Micah Stonesifer (Archer City, Texas/Archer City / Vernon College) have both been named to the 2013 Daktronics NCAA Division II All-Region Teams. Gelardi collects her second All-Region First Team selection this spring, while Stonesifer earns her first All-Region honor of her career at UNH.

The Northeast-10 Conference Player of the Year, Gelardi has previously been named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-Region First Team and the All-Northeast-10 Conference First Team. The nation's leader in on-base percentage, she boasted some of the best numbers in all of collegiate softball this season. The Derby, Conn. native also ranked sixth in runs per game, sixth in hit by pitch per game, 11th in batting average and 15th in walks in all of NCAA Division II.

Named to the All-Northeast-10 Conference Second Team, Stonesifer led the team with a 16-8 record and a 1.53 earned run average in the circle. She threw 15 complete games, including four complete game shutouts.

Sports information directors from NCAA Division II East Region schools and conferences select the Daktronics All-Region teams. The process concludes with All-American selections announced later in the month. The team is sponsored by Daktronics, Inc., an acknowledged world leader in scoring, timing and programmable display systems for virtually every sport at every level of competition. The team is voted on by the NCAA Division II members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (D2SIDA).

The Chargers concluded their 2013 season in the NCAA Division II East Region Championship. After losing its opening game, UNH pulled off back-to-back wins to advance to its second regional championship game in the last four years. New Haven then suffered a 9-5 loss to Adelphi in its third game of the day. The Chargers finished the season with a 38-15 record, it's best since 2010. It marked just the second time UNH has crossed the 35-win plateau since 1995.
