Senior right-handed pitcher Allie Stanya (Manorville, N.Y.), named the Skyline's Pitcher of the Year on Monday morning for the second-straight season, became the third player in conference history to win multiple tournament Most Outstanding Player awards after tossing a one-hit gem Sunday in the championship final against Manhattanville.

Stanya was one of seven FSC student-athletes named to the All-Skyline teams, including six first-team selections. Freshman right-handed pitcher/designated player Ava Shorr (No. Babylon, N.Y.) was the Skyline's Rookie of the Year, and went 13-1 in the circle with a 2.00 ERA and 60 strikeouts over 80.1 innings pitched, while batting .274 with 23 RBI at the dish.
