Augsburg's Ashley Westerman named to ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District 5 softball second team
http://www.augsburg.edu/athletics/sportsnews/050808westerman.html
MINNEAPOLIS (5/8/08) -- Augsburg College softball player Ashley Westerman (SR, Bemidji, Minn.) was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District 5 College Division second team, it was announced on Thursday. Westerman is a physics and mathematics major with a 3.57 grade-point average.
A catcher, Westerman finished this season hitting a career-best .331 (48-of-145), with 25 runs scored and team-highs of 31 RBI and 15 extra-base hits (11 doubles, two triples, two home runs), along with a .476 slugging percentage and .358 on-base percentage. Defensively, she threw out 11 baserunners trying to steal in 54 attempts, and had a .973 fielding percentage, with just six errors in 224 chances. She led the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in overall statistics in both plate appearances (156) and at-bats (145), and her 185 defensive putouts were sixth-best among MIAC players in overall statistics. In conference play, Westerman hit .365 (27-of-74) with 23 RBI, a total fourth-best among MIAC players.
In her career, Westerman started every one of the 153 games Augsburg played in her four seasons, hitting .285 (129-of-452), with 59 runs scored, 32 doubles (third-most in school history), four triples, two home runs, 66 RBI (fifth-most in school history), a .387 slugging percentage and .320 on-base percentage. She completed her career with a .949 fielding percentage, with just 34 errors in 668 chances. Her 99 career games as a catcher is a school record, as is her 31 career runners caught stealing.
A two-time Academic All-MIAC selection and National Fastpitch Coaches Association Scholar-Athlete in 2005, Westerman is a Sunquist Scholar, Dean's List honoree and member of the school's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. In April, she was named as one of four women's finalists for the school's top senior student-athlete honor, the Honor Athlete award, at the inaugural Auggie Awards.
Under second-year head coach Tim Gormley, Augsburg finished 20-23 overall and 15-7 in MIAC play in 2008, one of its most dramatic comeback seasons in school history. After finishing 4-34 last season and starting 4-14 this season, Augsburg won 16 of its final 25 games to reach the 20-win mark for the first time since the 1995 season (20-18) and just the ninth time in the last 30 years (since the 1979 season). Augsburg reached the MIAC postseason playoffs for the first time in the event's five-year history this year, while also reaching the postseason for the first time since 1984.

He shared the MIAC's weekly honor with sophomore Sean Barrett of St. Thomas.
Womeldorf led the way for the Auggies during the 2007-08 season with a career-best 77.40 season-long stroke average, including a team-best 75.0 average in the spring half of the season.
