BABSON PARK, Mass.—Three members of the Babson College softball program were honored for their accomplishments in the classroom when the College Sports Communicators (CSC) announced its Academic All-District teams on Tuesday afternoon.

Graduate student Moira O'Reilly (Columbus, Ohio) represents the Green and White on the Academic All-District I Team for the third straight year, while graduate student Cameron Whiteford (Centerville, Md.) and junior Sophia Pak (New Rochelle, N.Y.) made their first appearance on the Academic All-District Team. The three Beavers are now eligible for the Academic All-America teams, which will be announced next month.

Since 1952, CSC has honored more than 40,000 outstanding student-athletes across the NCAA. Eligible nominees must compete in 90 percent of the institution's games played or must start in at least 66 percent of the institution's games. For pitchers, a student-athlete must have made at least 17 appearances or pitched 35 innings.

A Business Analytics major, O'Reilly is a four-time New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Pitcher of the Year and First Team All-Region selection. The lefthander finished the season with a 9-6 record along with a 1.76 earned run average and 124 strikeouts in 111.1 innings pitched. She was in the top five in the NEWMAC in ERA, strikeouts, strikeouts per seven innings (7.8), hits per seven innings (5.41), and WHIP (1.10). She finished her career with a 71-29 record to go along with a 1.71 ERA and 900 strikeouts 675.2 innings pitched, and ranks first in school history in wins, strikeouts, innings pitched, appearances (115), starts (103), shutouts (24) and strikeouts per seven innings (9.32), and is second in both ERA and hits allowed per seven innings (4.94).

A Business major and transfer from the University of Rhode Island, Whiteford had a very successful spring in her only season with the Green and White, earning All-NEWMAC and All-Region honors. She posted a 13-7 record with a 1.83 earned run average, five shutouts and 126 strikeouts in 126.1 innings in the circle. She recorded a pair of no-hitters, ranked second in the NEWMAC in shutouts and hits allowed per seven innings (5.15), recorded double-digit strikeouts in 10 starts and held opposing hitters to a .197 average on the year.

An Accounting major, Pak enjoyed a breakout season for the Beavers and earned All-Region and All-NEWMAC accolades. She led the conference with a career-best .481 batting average with three doubles, two triples, a team-high 24 RBI and 22 runs scored in 41 starts in center field. She tied the single-season program record with 63 hits, ranked 32nd in Division III in batting average and was third in the region with a .531 on-base percentage. She raised her career average to .347 this spring, produced multiple hits in 18 contests and finished the season with a 15-game hitting streak.
