NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Freshman catcher Taylor Quinn (Colonie, N.Y.) was named CACC Softball Rookie of the Year, headlining four Cougars named today to the All-Conference Team by the league.

Quinn and Junior shortstop Ashleigh Tavaska (Jackson, N.J.) were selected to the First Team, while junior 2B Grace Vondracek (Odessa, N.Y.) and junior outfielder Jessica Klein (Trevose, Pa.) were named to the Second Team.
