Trio from Kutztown Softball earn 2025 NFCA All-Atlantic Region Honors
Three from 19th-ranked Kutztown University softball were voted All-Atlantic Region by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association for 2025. Emily Henn (Matamoras, Pa./Delaware Valley) earned First Team honors, while both Haley Gravish (Hamburg, Pa./Hamburg) and Morgan Slomkowski (Toms River, N.J./Toms River East) received Second Team accolades.
This is the first season the Golden Bears (40-16 overall) have had any representatives on All-Region teams since the 2023 season. It's the first time each has been tabbed All-Region in their careers.
The awards honor softball student-athletes from the Association's eight regions with first and second-team selections. NFCA member head coaches from each respective region nominated their student-athletes and voted for the teams. All the honorees are now eligible for selection to the 2025 NFCA Division II All-America squads. The 2025 NFCA Division II All-America teams will be announced Wednesday, May 21 at the NCAA Division II Championship Banquet in Chattanooga, Tenn.
