Framingham State's Camille Desrochers and Ally Moran, Mass. Maritime's Kelsey Booker and Ab'c'de Patane and Worcester State's Bella Gasbarro were named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-Region 2 teams as announced by the organization.

Moran, a three-time All-MASCAC selection, earned second team All-Region honors for the first time in her career. Moran was named tournament MVP of the 2023 MASCAC Tournament. Moran led the MASCAC in wins and ERA this after going 22-6 in the circle with a 1.37 ERA. Moran made 30 appearances with 17 complete games and 105 strikeouts in 148.1 innings of work.

Desrochers, a five-time All-MASCAC selection, also earned her first All-Region selection being chosen for the third team. Desrochers batted .399 this season with 57 hits including 11 doubles, a triple, a home run and 35 RBI. Desrochers stole seven bases on the season and walked 20 times.

Patane, who was named MASCAC Player and Rookie of the Year earlier this week, earns the All-Region selection as the second team third baseman after a fantastic season for the Bucs. She finished third in the nation in batting average at .531, hit a program record seven home runs for the Bucs and was tops in 10 offensive categories in the MASCAC this season. Ab'c'de racked up 60 hits this season with 50 runs batted in to go along with 17 doubles and three triples.

Booker earns her first piece of hardware as a Buccaneer as the All-Region third team catcher. Kelsey finished the season as one of the toughest hitters to strikeout in the nation with just six strikeouts in 128 at-bats in 2023. She batted .430 with 55 hits and 29 runs batted in and was right on Patane's tail in most offensive categories in the MASCAC all season.

Gasbarro was named to the Region II second team after garnering MASCAC All-Conference First Team honors after a dominant first year as a Lancer. Gasbarro led the Lancers with a .409 batting average with 22 runs on 56 hits, recording 13 doubles, four triples and three homeruns over her first year.
