Written by Andrew Capitelli (SJC-LI Sports Information)

Danbury, Conn.| Seniors Lindsey Corriss and Mallory McClaffery of the St. Joseph's College (L.I.) softball team both appeared on Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Metro/Upstate All-Star teams, which were released on the organization's website on Tuesday morning.

McClaffery, who earned Skyline All-Conference First-Team and Second-Team nods at the utility and pitcher positions, replicated her conference accolades appearing on both ECAC's first (UTL) and second (P) teams. Corriss earned Second-Team (OF) nods after scooping up a First-Team Skyline selection last month.

In McClafferty, the Golden Eagles saw a player receive both ECAC First-Team and Second-Team nods in the same season for the first time in program history. McClafferty batted a team-best .470 on the year with 46 RBI's, 28 runs, 16 doubles and seven home runs to land on the First-Team at the utility position. The Bellport, NY native's Second-Team selection came as a pitcher after a season in which she posted a 10-4 record with a 2.78 ERA and 97 strikeouts (3rd in the conference).

For Corriss, her first ECAC selection at the outfield position came after earning her second Skyline First-Team selection in 2016. This season, the Sayville, NY native hit .430 on the year with 39 runs and a conference-leading 28 stolen bases (15th in the nation). The center fielder also finished second in the conference in hits (55) and triples (5).
