Fredonia senior Danielle Palisin had some pretty big shoes to fill in the circle after the graduation of pitcher Jordan Lucas.

She then hit .722 with four doubles and a triple making her the clear choice for not only the Pitcher of the Year and Player of the Year in the league.
Fredonia also took home the Coach of the Year honors for head coach Jesse Beers and assistant Tim Wright.
Undefeated Fredonia had four more girls named to the league’s First Team with sophomore shortstop Naomi Muck hit .350 in league games and on the year knocked in 10 RBIs with a double and 17 runs scored, freshman Jenna Fryberger hit .486 and drove in 18 runs with three doubles, four triples and 22 runs scored, Callie Draggett batted .429 with 22 RBIs, seven doubles, a home run and eight runs scored and Anna Delcamp hit .514 with 18 RBIs, five doubles, a triple, a home run and 11 runs scored.
