NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Coming off an NCAA Tournament appearance and 33-win campaign, two members of the Southern Connecticut State University softball team – senior Christina Wolf (Newtown, Conn.) and junior Khristle Lee (Aztec, N.M.) – have been named to the Northeast-10 Conference Softball All-Academic Team.

Wolf led the Owls with a .382 on-base percentage and also slugged four homers on the year.
Lee, a biology major with a 3.85 GPA, started all 49 games for the Owls this past year. She finished seventh in the NE-10 in total plate appearances, was eighth in at-bats, eighth in stolen bases (14) and 10th in runs scored (30). For the year, she batted .270 with two home runs and 12 RBI. Lee was second on the team in runs and third in hits with 43.
