HOUGHTON, N.Y. -- Three key components of the Houghton softball program have received national honors following the record-setting 2022 spring season.

Hannah Haskell was a First Team All-America selection by the National Christian College Athletic Association, while Thompson was named Second Team All-America. Muise was named the NCCAA Coach of the Year.

Haskell led the Highlanders in several offensive categories. She hit a team-leading .457 on 58 hits, while adding 39 runs, six doubles, six triples and three home runs. She set program records for season batting average, hits, runs and triples and career marks for hits (142) and batting average. Defensively, the senior produced a .936 field percentage with 56 putouts and 90 assists at shortstop.

Thompson was second on the team with a .431 batting average and third with 47 hits. She led the team with 12 doubles, while adding a triple, home run and 23 RBI. She also scored 22 runs and was second on the team with 64 total bases. She also had a .956 field percentage with 28 putouts and 59 assists at third base.

Muise, who was previously honored as the Empire 8 and NCCAA Region Coach of the Year, guided the Highlanders to a 20-17 season, with the team just missing out on an Empire 8 postseason appearance. The 20 wins was a program record, besting two 13 win seasons (2018 and 2019). The conference win total was also a program record. The team and several individuals set numerous program season offensive records. The Highlanders averaged nearly seven runs per game and hit .322 at the plate.
