DENVER— Colorado Mesa University junior first baseman AnnMarie Torres was named to the NFCA Division II All-America Team for the third straight year, it was announced this evening here at the NCAA Division II Championships banquet on Wednesday evening at the DoubleTree Hotel by Hilton.  She was a first team honoree after earning third team accolades in 2017 and 2018.
 
Named as the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Player of the Year, Torres was the only RMAC player on the list of 51 total honorees (17 for each team) from 38 different institutions. 
 
The Mavericks have now had at least one NFCA All-American in each of the past four years, including first team selections Makayla Kovac (2016) and Brooke Hodgson (2018) during that stretch.
 
Torres led the RMAC in multiple statistical categories, driving in 68 runs to rank second nationally.  She is also fifth in the country with her .587 on-base percentage and sixth in walks, drawing 45, good for a 0.80 per game average. She also topped league with her .458 batting average and was second with her .817 slugging percentage and third in both runs scored (57) and hits (70).
 
Defensively, she made just two errors in 285 total chances and reached base safely in 38 consecutive games.
 
She led the Mavericks to a 45-11 overall record and a fourth straight RMAC regular season title and NCAA Division II Tournament appearance.
 
Torres is also a top-10 finalist for the Schutt Sports/NFCA Division II Player of the Year Award, which will be announced next week.
