LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Thanks to her stellar 2023 campaign, Penn State Harrisburg softball player Madelyn Lehigh has been named National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-Region.

 

After turning in one of the best offensive seasons in recent memory, Lehigh becomes the first player in program history to earn all-region recognition of any kind. She was named to the NFCA All-Region IV Second Team for her efforts.

 

Lehigh recently secured United East All-Conference First-Team honors for the second straight season after winning the 2023 United East batting title. The sophomore turned in one of the best offensive seasons of any player in the country this spring and ranks sixth in the nation with a .575 on-base percentage and seventh in the country with a .509 batting average. She also ranks 16th among all Division III players with an .827 slugging percentage and leads the United East with a 1.402 OPS. Despite missing nine games, the Harrisburg, Pa. native racked up 56 hits, including 14 doubles, six triples, and three home runs. The shortstop scored 41 runs, drove in 23 more, walked 16 times, and tallied 91 total bases.
