SALEM, Va. - Saginaw Valley State Univeristy senior outfielder Marsha Beaubien (Alpena, Mich.) added more awards to her 2009 list of accolades as she was named 2009 Louisville Slugger/NFCA Second Team All-American, becoming the first Cardinal softball player since 1992 to be named an All-American, she was also named to the Daktronics Inc. Honarable Mention All-American Team as well.

Beaubien was a major catalyst in the success of the SVSU softball team that captured the 2009 NCAA Midwest Regional Championship and was one win away from a berth to the 2009 NCAA Division II World Series. Beaubien led the GLIAC in batting average (.396), runs scored (45), slugging percentage (.649), on base percentage (.483), tied for third with nine homeruns and fifth in RBI with 36. She also was the league-leader with 40 stolen bases, a number that out-ranks the other nine GLIAC teams, and also has stolen second and third on consecutive plays five times this season.

Already this season Beaubien has been named Daktronics, Inc. Midwest Player of the Year to go along with her GLIAC Player of the Year honor she received at the 2009 conference tournament.
