Rock Valley College has landed four players on both the all-conference and all-region softball teams. Jamie Mortlock (sophomore from Oregon), Jackie Santaolalla (sophomore from Guilford), Ashley Blunt (freshman from Belvidere), and Kylee Morris (freshman from Belvidere North) all earned the dual honor.

Mortlock batted .526 in 34 games with 42 runs driven in and 31 runs scored. She also belted nine home runs, good for fourth in the nation for NJCAA Division III. Santaolalla finished the season hitting .315 with 23 runs scored, Blunt batted .461 in 34 games, and Morris hit .333 and led the Golden Eagles with 12 stolen bases.

In addition to those post-season awards, Kyra Tschumper, Katie Spaniol, and Jen Repp were all named to the all-region tournament team after helping lead RVC to a second place regional finish on May 3.
