Durham Lords Media Release Tuesday, May 19, 2009 Durham College women’s fastball adds two Scarborough Stingrays for the 2009 season Oshawa, Ont. – Durham College Women’s Fastball Head Coach Jim Nemish is proud to announce the addition of two players for the upcoming season. Joining the 2009 Lords fastball team are Shannon Stevenson (Scarborough, Ont.) and Tiana Cosentino ( Toronto, Ont.). Shannon Stevenson is a product of the Scarborough Stingrays fastball program. In 2008, she batted .402 for the Stingrays and helped guide the team to their regular season and playoff championship. In 2007, Stevenson was part of the Scarborough team that captured a bronze medal at the Eastern Canadian Championship and the Provincial Championship. Stevenson is also a multi-sport star as she was the Varsity Hockey captain in 2007, 2008 and 2009, picking up MVP honours in 2007 for R.H. King Academy. “Shannon is a catcher/first baseman and will be looked upon to take some of the load off veteran catcher Shannon Ferguson,” said Lords Head Coach Jim Nemish. “Her skills behind the plate are outstanding and she will also give us some depth at first base. We look forward to having her in the lineup next year.” Joining her Scarborough Stingrays teammate for the 2009 edition of the Lords will be Tiana Cosentino. In 2008, Cosentino batted .419 for Scarborough with a .612 slugging percentage and 26 runs batted in, helping the team to a regular season and playoff crown. She is a natural third baseman but she has the skills to play anywhere on the field. Cosentino was also a member of the bronze medal winning team at the 2007 Eastern Canadian Championship. “Tiana has a good work ethic, a strong arm and the ability to play multiple positions,” said Nemish. “We look for her to add some power to the team and much needed bench strength to our program.” Cosentino and Stevenson will join Janna Hagan (Sherwood Park, Alta.) as the freshman class on this year’s squad, although Nemish is still looking to strengthen the team with a couple more new recruits. The rookies combined with veteran talent returning to the team will put the Lords in good position heading into 2009 in an attempt to win the school’s 15th OCAA fastball championship. - FOR MORE INFORMATION: Scott Dennis Sports Information and Marketing Coordinator Durham College and UOIT Athletics 905.721.2000 Ext. 2784 (P) 905.721.3117 (F) scott.den...@dc-uoit.ca<mailto:scott.den...@dc-uoit.ca> Al's Fastball News *Email: fastball(at)pmihrm.com fastb...@pmihrm.com NEWS-1: http://www.AlsFastball.com/ NEWS-2: http://fastpitchwest.com/alsfastball VIA http://www.webbox.com
