Stacy, Raines Garner All-MEC Honors

BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. – Junior infielder Kylee Stacy and junior infielder Courtney Raines of the Concord University softball team were selected to the All-Mountain East Conference teams, the league office announced Tuesday afternoon.
 
Stacy was named to the All-MEC First Team for the first time in her career, while Raines was voted to the All-MEC Second Team.
 
Stacy led the Mountain Lions this spring with a .434 batting average and was first in the conference totaling 75 hits, as well as five doubles, four triples, 10 RBI, a .509 slugging percentage, and 26 stolen bases. The Green Cove Springs, Fla. native tallied 21 multi-hit games in 51 games played in 2024. She set a new career-high with four hits in a game against Virginia Union in February, as well as tying that mark three more times throughout the season. She also set new single-game career-highs of four RBI and two triples, both against Tusculum in February. Stacy owns the program record with 59 career stolen bases, breaking the previous record of 46 against West Virginia Wesleyan in March. In the field, Stacy has provided flexibility for CU, starting in four different positions (third base, right field, shortstop, and second base). Heading into the MEC Tournament, Stacy has reached base safely in 14 of her last 15 games.
 
Raines, a native of Salem, Va., cracked a conference-best 16 doubles this spring. Her mark of 16 doubles ties her for the 11^th-most across Division II and is tied for the fourth most in a single season in program history. She has played and started in all 52 games played in 2024 for CU. Raines leads the team in runs batted in with 39, while hitting .354 and slugging .506 with three home runs. Like Stacy, Raines has reached safely in nine of her last 10 games. To start her 2024 campaign, Raines hit a double in five consecutive games and had multiple hits in three of her first five games. Defensively, she has the fifth-most assists in the league (94) and has turned seven double plays.
 
Charleston notched three top-performing honors, with Hannah Rose being voted MEC Player of the Year, Brianna McCown earning MEC Pitcher of the Year, and head coach Michelle Frew being selected as MEC Coach of the Year. Fairmont State's Delaney Haller was named MEC Freshman of the Year.
