Erin Floros Named Easton-Bell Sports First-Team All-American
June 9, 2006 VAN NUYS, Calif. - San Diego State freshman Erin Floros (San Diego/Mt. Carmel HS) has been named to the 2006 Easton-Bell Sports All-America First Team. The honor, given to those players and schools sponsored by Easton-Bell Sports, is the second national accolade awarded to the catcher. Earlier this month, Floros received third-team All-America honors by the Louisville Slugger and NFCA. The 2006 Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Year and first-team all-West Region selection, Floros put together one of the finest seasons in SDSU history as the Aztecs won their third MWC regular season championship in five years. In 49 games, she batted .388 (No. 2 all-time) and recorded the highest ever slugging percentage (.558) and on-base percentage (.467) in SDSU history. Floros also led the team in hits (57), doubles (13), total bases (82), multi-hit games (18) and multi-RBI games (seven), and was second with four home runs. Over the final 19 games, she batted .492 (30-for-61) with 10 RBI, including a team-best .364 (4-for-11) at the NCAA Regional in Los Angeles. A catcher, Floros also shined on the defensive side of the ball. Committing only two errors in 295 chances for a remarkable .993 fielding percentage, she threw out 57.9 percent (11 of 19) base stealers and picked off five runners. SDSU, which finished the campaign with a 34-15 record and its best winning percentage (.694) in program history, will return 17 of its 21 players for the 2007 season, including eight starters.
