LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Indiana State's
Isabella Henning and
Annie Tokarek were named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Mideast All-Region team as announced by the organization on Thursday afternoon.
Henning was named the 2023 NFCA Mideast Second Team selection at first base, while Tokarek claimed Third Team honors at catcher to highlight the Sycamores on the list.
Henning received All-Region honors for the second consecutive season after earning 2022 Third Team recognition. The Owensboro, Ky. native is a two-time All-MVC First Team selection and paced the Sycamores in a multitude of offensive categories including batting average (.378), hits (65), home runs (10), runs (42) and RBIs (37). She was also honored on the MVC All-Tournament team following Indiana State's run to the championship game in Carbondale, Ill. this past weekend.
Tokarek garners the recognition for the first time after receiving First Team All-MVC accolades in 2023. The graduate student finished the season hitting .316 from the plate while sitting among the team leaders with 54 hits, eight doubles, and five home runs. She also tied with Henning for the team lead with 37 RBI and wrapped up her ISU career second all-time in home runs (26) and fifth in RBIs (106).
2023 marked the third consecutive season a pair of Sycamores have earned All-Region recognition.
Bella Peterson (Second) and
Isabella Henning (Third) were both honored in 2022, while Peterson (Second) and
Lexie Siwek (Second) were on the 2021 team.
