Erica Christopher of Newtown, a senior at Saint Anselm College and a 1998 graduate of Newtown High School, was named to the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) North All-Star team.
She joined two teammates on the team â junior first baseman Kristen Haubrich (Concord, N.H.), and junior pitcher Andrea Messina (Woburn, Mass.). All were previously named to the All-Northeast-10 Conferenceâs first team.
Christopher, a two-time NFCA All-New England selection, had a standout season at third base both offensively and defensively. Christopher committed just seven errors while leading the team with 106 assists. She also batted .302 (38-for-126) with two home runs, nine RBI, and a .353 on-base-percentage.
She started the season with a .571 average (12-for-21) after the teamâs Florida trip, and finished with 10 multi-hit games and a home run in the teamâs NCAA first round tournament game win over C.W. Post.
She cracked a three-run homer in the seventh inning of that game to help lift Saint Anselm to the win in its first-ever NCAA Division II tournament appearance.
