Contingents of teammates from Europe’s top Division I and II squads dominate the All-Europe softball teams, announced Friday by DODDS-Europe Athletic Director Karen Seadore.
Division I champion Ramstein earned five overall selections, led by first-teamers Katherine Enyeart, Kelsey Freeman and Breanna Martinez. Division II champion Vicenza placed three on the teams, led by ace sophomore pitcher Megan Buffington on the first team.
Division I runner-up Patch and Division II runner-up AFNORTH netted three overall selections and two first-team nods apiece. Panther juniors Jenny Sparks and Abby Weaver and Lion juniors Morgan Beal and Rachel Pagio cracked the first team.
Two more pairs of teammates – Naples’ Tara Carrico and Vicky Krause and Vilseck’s Brittany Richardson and Kayla Clamage – rounded out the 12-player first team.
The 24 selections include just one Division III player, in Alconbury, senior Marrissa Cole.
Freeman and Carrico are the only two seniors named to the first team, which featured eight juniors. First-teamer Martinez and her twin sister, second-team selection Sabrina Martinez, are the only freshmen to earn All-Europe honors.
Freeman completed a four-year run of first-team selections for the Royals.
