BIDDEFORD, Maine -- University of New England junior Makenzy Herron, first-year Abby Miner, and senior Kate Wilmot led five players picked for the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) softball all-conference teams, as the 2022 season honors were released Tuesday (May 3) by CCC Associate Commissioner Doug Chin.

Herron in the outfield, Miner at first base, and Wilmot as the designated player were each voted to the 1st Team by the league's head coaches. Senior shortstop Taylor Depot received 2nd Team status, and junior third base Grace Tutt landed a 3rd Team nod.

The Nor'easters, No.1 Endicott College, and No.2 Western New England University all had three representatives on the top squad.

It marks the second in as many opportunities for Herron, who was noted on the second team last season. Depot also collects her second career all-conference accolade, following a third team selection back in 2018.

Miner was the only rookie on the first team this year, and the only first-team rookie on the right side of the infield since 2014.

The Nor'easters enter the 2022 CCC Softball Championship on Thursday as the No.3 seed and will first square off with sixth seed Salve Regina University, after seventh-seeded Nichols College and the host Golden Bears are completed. UNE swept the Seahawks back in early April with scores of 10-6 and 8-4.

The tournament field of eight has been split in half, with each going through double elimination format until one remains to meet for the league final.
