Santomauro Named to All-New England Second Team

Santomauro Selected to All-New England Squad

HANOVER, N.H. ? Dartmouth junior outfielder Nick Santomauro (North Caldwell, N.J.), the Ivy League Player of the Year, was named to the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association (NEIBA) All-New England Division I Second Team as voted on by the association's coaches. This is the third straight year Santomauro has been selected for one of teams, having been a first-team honoree last year and a second-team member as a freshman in 2007.

All of the members of the first and second teams are now eligible to play in the 2009 NEIBA All-Star Game on Thursday, June 4, at Campanelli Stadium in Brockton, Mass., depending on their availability.

Not only was Santomauro the Ivy League Player of the Year, he was the Blair Bat Winner as the league's leading hitter in conference contests with a .473 batting average. Entering the NCAA Regional game against #7 North Carolina this evening, the right-fielder has posted a .365 average with eight home runs, 40 RBIs and 13 doubles while ranking among the league's top 10 in eight separate offensive categories. A two-time Ivy Player of the Week honoree this year, Santomauro has been on the All-Ivy first team each of his three seasons at Dartmouth.

Dartmouth (27-16) is the fourth seed in the Chapel Hill Regional of the NCAA Tournament and will play either #20 Coastal Carolina or Kansas tomorrow after squaring off against the host Tar Heels tonight at 6 p.m.
