Roberge, Shereyka, Yaroch Receive ECC Softball All-Conference Second-Team Praise

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. - The East Coast Conference announced their 2012 softball all-conference award winners Friday afternoon, and a trio of Queens College freshman student-athletes were tabbed on the all-conference second team: utility player Monique Roberge (New Hyde Park, N.Y.), second baseman Jennifer Shereyka (Parlin, N.J.) and right-handed pitcher Isabelle Yaroch (Annandale, Va.).

Roberge hit .370 (27-for-73) with a team-best 18 runs batted in, and tied for the team-high with three home runs in her rookie campaign. She also reached base at a .483 clip. Roberge's .562 slugging percentage was also the top mark on the squad.

Shereyka played in all 38 contests for the Knights as a freshman -- just one of three players to do so (sophomore center fielder Melissa Natale, and sophomore catcher Kaitlyn Crowley). She hit .258 on the season, and walked (11) more than she struck out (8). Included in Shereyka's totals were seven extra-base hits, including a team-high two triples.

Yaroch posted a 2.33 earned run average on the season, good for the seventh-best mark on the ECC. She fired her first collegiate no-hitter March 29 at NYIT, and registered 18 complete games and two saves in the pitcher's circle. Yaroch also struck out 100 hitters in 162 innings pitched for the Knights.

Roberge, Shereyka and Yaroch were just part of the reason interim head coach John Pisano's Queens side went 20-18 on the 2012 campaign, including a 13-15 mark in ECC play that was good for the fourth and final spot in the conference tournament. This marked the Knights' first appearance in the ECC Championships in three seasons.
