LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The TCNJ softball team had five players earn spots in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-Region IV Team, as released this afternoon.
 
Kaci Neveling earned a spot on the First Team while Julia Kinnally and Mckayla Yard garnered Second Team honors, with Maya Knasiak and Sara Vincent rounding out the Lions' selections with their Third Team nods. TCNJ's five selections were the second most in the region trailing only Rowan (8).
 
Neveling has become synonymous with a First Team All-Region selection, garnering the fifth straight such honor of her career. The graduate student enjoyed another strong regular season at the dish, slashing .388/.427/.586 / team-high marks in hits (45), runs (28) and doubles (16).  Neveling's 16 doubles in the regular season led the region and ranked 18th in Division III, with her eight sac bunts also leading Region IV.
 
The 2025 NJAC Player of the Year, Kinnally secured the second All-Region honors of her career with her selection to the Second Team – she was a First Team honoree in 2023. The graduate student ranked fifth in Region IV and in the top 100 nationally in RBIs (35) as well as top 40 in D3 in sacrifice flies (4) at the conclusion of the regular season. Kinnally's season was highlighted by her performance against second-ranked Rowan in which she went 3-4 with a double, homer and four RBIs to hand the Profs their lone regular season loss.
 
Yard's selection to the All-Region Second Team is the first of her career following a stellar senior campaign in which she slashed .356/.387/.485 and ended the regular season on a 12-game hitting streak that included six multi-hit outings. The senior was top three on the Lions in hits (36), doubles (6) and RBIs (18) while leading TCNJ and ranking fourth in the region with 78 assists at the end of the regular season.
 
Knasiak earned a spot on the Third Team after serving as TCNJ's top arm in her sophomore season. The Mount Laurel, N.J.-native finished 14-4 – her 14 wins were tied for the third-most in the region – with a team-best 2.58 ERA, ranking second in Region IV and just outside the top 60 nationally in strikeouts (108).
 
Vincent rounded out TCNJ's All-Region selections with the first Third Team honors of her young career. The sophomore put together a career season in which she slashed .327/.336/.393 with season-best marks in hits (35), doubles (4) and RBIs (18), registering at least one hit in 13 of the Lions' final 14 games. Vincent was also one of the most sure-handed catchers in the region, finishing with a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage with 164 putouts and 17 assists.
