UW-Whitewater's Josie Hammen (Combined Locks, Wis./Kimberly) and Bella Eggert (Carol Stream, Ill./Glenbard North) have been selected to the All-Region VIII teams by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association. 

Hammen is a First Team pick for her performance in the circle this season. The junior, now a two-time All-WIAC and two-time All-Region pitcher, compiled a record of 13-4 with an earned run average of 1.73 this season. The righty led the league in complete games with 10 adding three saves. Hammen tallied 101 strikeouts in 113.0 innings of work while holding opposing offenses to a batting average of .234. 

Eggert was tabbed for Third Team honors for the second straight season. The senior centerfielder started all 40 games for UWW this season. Eggert led the Warhawk offense with a .434 batting average accumulating 53 hits and 29 runs scored -- all top ten marks in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The speedy slapper posted an on base percentage of .469 and was a perfect 5-5 on stolen base attempts this season. 

The duo will move forward into consideration for the three NFCA Division III All-America squads that are set to be announced May 27.
