Madi McCoy Named to NFCA All-Region Team
May 20, 2021 | Softball
Senior SS is BGSU's first such honoree in a decade
Madi McCoy, Bowling Green State University's stellar softball shortstop, has been named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-Region Team. McCoy, a senior, has been named to the NFCA All-Mideast Region Second Team.
The NFCA announced the 2021 Division I All-Region Teams on Thursday afternoon (May 20). The teams are the result of voting by coaches in each respective region.
McCoy is the Falcons' first all-region selection in a decade, since Hannah Fulk also earned second-team honors in 2011.
McCoy, a native of Washington, Ill. (Washington), hit a team-leading .380, and the shortstop also paced the Falcons in doubles (15), homers (11), runs batted in (43), total bases (110), on-base percentage (.423) and slugging pct. (.696). She set a school record for hits in a game, going 5-for-5 (with two homers and two doubles) in a win at Northern Illinois, and she became the first player in school history with three multiple-homer games in a season.
McCoy batted .423 in MAC games this spring, the highest average by a BGSU player since 2006. With a career slugging percentage of .617, she holds the school record in that category. McCoy added her name to eight BGSU single-season records lists in 2021, and was just three RBI shy of that school record. Despite playing the equivalent of roughly two seasons in a BGSU uniform, McCoy is ranked on five career charts including slugging pct. She tied the school record with four multi-HR games in her BG career.
The all-region honor is McCoy's second major award of the day. Earlier on Thursday, McCoy was named to the All-Mid-American Conference First Team.
BGSU ended the 2021 season with an overall record of 27-27, and the Falcons went 19-20 in MAC action. BG, picked to finish eighth in the MAC in the preseason coaches' poll, ended the season in fifth place in the 11-team league. BGSU was one of two conference teams to finish as many as three places higher than predicted.
The Falcons finished with the program's highest winning percentage in MAC play since 2012, and BGSU's overall total of 27 wins is the highest since the 2013 campaign.
A total of 14 of the 23 players on the 2021 roster were true freshmen or redshirt freshmen.
