The National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) has announced the 2010 Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division I All-Region teams and two Big West players have been named to the list. Cal Poly's Anna Cahn was named to her second All-West Region mention, while UC Davis' Alex Holmes claimed the accolade for the first time.

The all-region teams were chosen by NFCA member coaches from each region, and all the honorees will now be eligible for selection to the Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-America first, second or third teams. In addition, conference pitchers and players of the year not selected to the regional teams were added for All-America consideration.

Cahn, who was a first team All-Region selection in 2009, was named to the second team West Region list as a utility/designated player. She became the first player in league history to go from winning Pitcher of the Year in one season to Field Player of the Year the following year. Cahn leads the Big West in batting at a .393 clip, and also heads the league in slugging (.626), on base percentage (.586) and walks (45). The junior was a regular on the basepaths during conference play, hitting at a .463 clip, with three homers, 12 RBI and 27 walks in 21 games. Overall, Cahn posted five homers, 24 RBI, 42 hits and scored 12 runs to add to her league-best average. In addition, Cahn had 12 multi-hit games and reached base safely in 43 of her 47 games. In the circle, Cahn had a 13-13 record with a 2.28 ERA and 100 strikeouts in 150.2 innings. She also showed remarkable control by allowing only 30 walks and gave up only 27 extra-base hits over her 32 appearances.

Holmes became the first Aggie to earn All-Region honors with her selection to the second team in the Pacific Region as a utility/pitcher. Holmes became the first Aggie to win Pitcher of the Year honors in the program’s short membership in the Big West. Holmes ranks second in the Big West in wins (16), sixth in ERA (2.94), fourth in innings pitched (169.0) and second in strikeouts (133). During conference play, Holmes spearheaded UCD’s run to the conference title with excellent numbers against league foes, posting a 9-1 record with a 2.10 ERA, four complete games, one shutout and 43 strikeouts in 73.1 innings. Offensively, Holmes led the club in batting average (.352), hits (58) and was second in both doubles (7) and RBI (22).
