IUP softball senior second baseman Kaitlyn Beers has been named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District® First Team for District Two. The district includes schools in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC), Central Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (CIAA), and the Mountain East Conference (MEC).
Beers has started 136 games in her four years at IUP and boasts a .320 batting average, 17 home runs, 85 runs batted in and a .517 slugging percentage. She had a stellar start to her 2020 spring, hitting .362 with three homers, a team-leading 10 RBI and a .638 slugging percentage in 14 games.
A three-time PSAC honoree, Beers was named Central Division Freshman of the Year in 2017 and followed that with the division’s Athlete of the Year as a sophomore.
With the NCAA’s ruling of an additional year of eligibility for spring sports student-athletes, Beers plans to attend graduate school at IUP and be back on the roster for the 2021 season.
