Mount Assisi Academy’s varsity softball team was recently awarded the 2010 Girls Catholic Athletic Conference (GCAC) Sportsmanship Award in the Red Division. This honor, voted by conference coaches, is awarded annually to the team exemplifying superior sportsmanship and hospitality before, during and after competition.

Interestingly, the criterion for the GCAC Sportsmanship Award not only takes into consideration the on and off-field conduct of players and coaches, but also the conduct and behavior of the team’s spectators as well.

The MAA varsity Eagles are in the midst of IHSA Regional competition, sporting a 24-8 overall won-loss record to date. Pitcher Megan Kelly was recently named GCAC Red Division Player of the Year, as well as Triblocal Athlete of the Month for April 2010.

Mount Assisi is hosting regional competition with Finals scheduled for Saturday, May 29, at 11:00 a.m. at MAA.
