  (Lock Haven, Pa.) -  Three Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania softball student-athletes were selected for National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division II All-Mid-Atlantic Region honors including Shona Guevara (Chino Hills, Calif./Rueben S. Ayala), Heather Johnson (Williamsport/Williamsport) and Lynn Spiezio (Trooper/Methacton).
                Sophomore Shona Guevara was selected as a second team all-region pitcher, her second time on the all-region list but her first as a member of the Lock Haven squad.  Guevara led the 2004 Lady Eagles in appearances and innings pitched, entering the pitcher’s circle 27 times for a total of 159.1 innings of work.  She threw eight shutouts and had one save, posting an earned run average of 1.45.  Guevara struck out a team best 151 batters on the season, ranking fifth among PSAC pitchers in the category.  
                Sophomore second baseman Heather Johnson joins her teammates on the Second Team list for the first time, also earning a second-team pick on the All-PSAC Western Division team.  Johnson was second on the squad with a .333 batting average and produced a team-best 10 doubles along with 15 multiple-hit games. On the field, she posted a .944 fielding percentage with 62 assists and 74 putouts.
                Junior centerfielder Lynn Spiezio collects her second regional honor with this year’s selection to the Second Team All-Mid-Atlantic Region.  She is a three-time All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West award recipient, earning first team honors in both 2003 and 2004 and second-team placement in 2002. Spiezio led the PSAC in stolen bases, logging 27 in 28 attempts over the season.  She led the 2004 Lady Eagles and ranked 10th in the PSAC in batting average (.385) and also paced the Haven in at-bats (156), runs scored (31), and hits (60). Spiezio also led Lock Haven in multiple-hit games (17) and had assembled a 10-game hitting streak during the season.
                The Lady Eagles finished the season with an overall record of 27-17 and qualified and competed at both PSAC and NCAA Mid-Atlantic Region Championships.  The full list of NFCA All-Region selections can be located at www.nfca.org.
