COLCHESTER, Vt. - Three Saint Michael's College softball players earned Northeast 10 Conference All-Conference accolades on Wednesday, as chosen by the league's coaches.
 
Junior Abreanna Smith (Whitewright, Texas/Whitewright) was the NE10 All-Conference second team designated player, senior CJ Davidson (Canyon Lake, Calif./Vista Murrieta) was among three third-team at-large selections, and classmate Brooke Edgerly (Morley, Mich./Morley Stanwood) landed one of two third-team outfield spots. Edgerly repeated as the center fielder on the NE10 All-Defensive Team after nabbing a nod in 2025, while first-year Madi Liimtainen (Turners Falls, Mass./Turners Falls) was among 13 NE10 All-Rookie Team picks.
 
Smith hit .261 while slugging a career-high .386 as the Purple Knights' regular cleanup hitter. She swatted her first two college home runs and reached career highs in hits (23) and RBI (14), picking up at least one hit in 19 games. Among her best games, Smith slugged a double and a home run in game two of a doubleheader versus American International College on April 4 and drove in three runs while legging out a triple in the opener of a twinbill against regionally-ranked Adelphi University on April 25.
 
Davidson, who split her time between right field and the circle, reached career highs in batting average (.282), runs (23), hits (40), home runs (5), RBI (27), extra-base hits (15), slugging percentage (.479), walks (14), on-base percentage (.340), sacrifice flies (5) and stolen bases (6). The captain also registered six wins while completing 12 of her 22 starts, fanning 39 and logging 105.1 innings. Davidson will graduate first in program history in career sac flies (9), second in at bats (485), third in runs (78), tied for third in games (157) and triples (8), tied for fourth in RBI (71), fifth in wins (18) and walks as a batter (44), sixth in pitching complete games (35), tied for sixth in doubles (22), and seventh in hits (124), innings pitched (307.2) and pitching strikeouts (112).
 
Edgerly reached career highs in batting average (.333), runs (31), hits (52), extra-base hits (7), RBI (11), slugging percentage (.404), on-base percentage (.385), stolen bases (13) and walks, with 13 bases on balls to only 10 strikeouts, as the Purple Knights' starting center fielder and leadoff hitter. She also played stellar defense in the middle garden, taking sixth in the league in fielding percentage (.991) while committing only one error, firing five outfield assists, and tracking down 101 putouts. She set a school record with 156 at bats this year while finishing three hits short of another season mark. Edgerly capped her career third in program history in career stolen bases (29), fourth in runs (77), sixth in hits (127), seventh in games (155) and eighth in at bats (445), with a .977 fielding percentage coming by virtue of committing only seven errors in 155 contests.
 
Liimatainen hit .268 with nine doubles, three home runs, 22 RBI, and a .429 slugging percentage while appearing at first base, shortstop and in the circle. In her final 17 games alone, the rookie hit .358 with 10 RBI. She registered a 3-4 pitching record with a shutout and a save, completing five of her seven starts and making 15 appearances. Liimatainen fanned 33 in 54 frames.
