BEREA, OHIO -- Three standout Baldwin-Wallace College student-athletes, senior third baseman Megan Coyne (Brunswick/ LaGrange Keystone), junior catcher Tanya Davis (Hinckley/ Medina Highland) and junior first baseman Katrina Resek (Strongsville), have been named to the 2010 Academic All-Ohio Athletic Softball Team. The trio helped BW to a 23-17 overall record this spring.
Coyne and Davis were named to the Academic All-OAC squad and Resek received honorable mention accolades. Davis is a repeat Academic All-OAC choice and Coyne and Resek are making the team for the first time.
Coyne, who recently graduated with a 3.357 grade point average in human resources management, starred at third base for the Yellow Jackets for three seasons after beginning her collegiate career across town at Notre Dame College (of Ohio).
