Stony Brook, N.Y. - Stony Brook's Kristen Brust was named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-Northeast Region first team, the NFCA announced on Wednesday. The selection marks the third straight to the all-region team for Brust, who has earned first team honors two consecutive seasons.

Brust, the first four-time America East first team selection in school history in any sport and first three-time All-Northeast Region pick in program history, earns first team all-region honors after once again ranking among league leaders in batting (.328), hits (57), runs (33), home runs (14), doubles (12), RBI (40), total bases (113), on base percentage (.421) and slugging (.649).

A two-time ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District I first team selection, Brust rounded out her career as Stony Brook's all-time leader in nearly every offensive category, including hits, doubles, home runs, runs and RBI. She is the only player during the program's six years at the Division I level to play in and start every game.
