McKenzie Bedra Tabbed First-Team All-League; Rochelle Vanyi Named to All-Newcomer Team
Indianapolis, Ind. -- For the second straight season, Youngstown State senior McKenzie Bedra was named to the All-Horizon League First-Team, the league announced on Wednesday. Youngstown State freshman Rochelle Vanyi was named to the Horizon League All-Newcomer Team.

Bedra, YSU career leader with 34 home runs and 119 RBIs, is batting a team-best .338 with seven doubles and a school-record 11 home runs. The Bowling Green, Ohio, native has also driven 32 runs, scored 24 runs and owns a .646 slugging percentage.

Bedra is just the third YSU player to earn back-to-back first-team all-league honors and the first since Tiffany Patteson accomplished the feat in 2003 and 2004. Chris Notareschi was the first player to earn consecutive first-team all-conference honors in 1997 and 1998 when YSU was a member of the Mid-Continent Conference

Vanyi, a native of Rocklin, Calif., is batting .319 with 10 doubles and a single-season school-record 11 home runs. She has also driven in 21 runs and scored a team-high 27 runs while slugging at a .630 clip.

Vanyi is also just the second player in school history to record at least 10 doubles and 10 home runs in the same season. Kristen McDonnell was the first with 11 doubles and 10 home runs in 2006.
