Omaha World-Herald news article
SEWARD, Neb. – Standout juniors Megan Eurich and Kylie Shottenkirk represented the Concordia University Softball team with 2024 All-Midlands Softball Team accolades, as selected by the Omaha World-Herald and announced on June 8. Seven other Bulldogs were also recognized by Nebraska’s largest newspaper as honorable mention award winners: Aubrey Bruning, Taylor Glause, Laycee Josoff, Jennifer Katz, Aubriana Krieser, Julia Van Wey and Delanie Voshell.
The World-Herald’s All-Midlands Softball Team features the top players from Nebraska four-year colleges and universities outside of the NCAA Division I level. The 2024 team (listed at bottom) includes players from NAIA and NCAA Division II and III institutions. The nine Bulldog honorees helped Head Coach Brock Culler’s squad leap to third place in the final GPAC standings.
A native of Gretna, Neb., Eurich starred as one of the GPAC’s top pitchers this past spring and broke the program record for strikeouts in a single season with 194. She also hurled nine shutouts and completed 20 games as a workhorse in the circle. Shottenkirk got the World-Herald’s nod at first base after a season that included an NAIA National Player of the Week award. The Lincoln North Star High School alum paced the team with five home runs.
