APPLETON, Wis. -- Lawrence University softball standouts Mattigan Haller and Janessa Gonzalez have been chosen for the All-Midwest Conference team in a vote of league coaches.
    Haller (Eau Claire, Wis./North) was chosen for the second consecutive year, and Gonzalez (Elk Grove Village, Ill./James B. Conant) was chosen in her first year with the Vikings. Both Haller and Gonzalez were second-team selections.
    Haller, a sophomore who split time between catcher and the outfield, was chosen as the second-team utility player for the second consecutive season. Batting at the top of the Lawrence lineup, Haller hit .308 in Midwest Conference play with a triple, four runs batted in and a team-high 13 runs scored. She also swiped seven bases.
    On the season, Haller hit .316 with four doubles, a team-best six triples, 10 RBIs and a team-high 25 runs scored. She also swiped a team-best 12 bases.
    Gonzalez, a first-year who played second base and saw some time in the outfield, was picked at second base. Gonzalez hit a team-best .396 in Midwest Conference play. She picked up two doubles, a triple, eight RBIs, 11 runs scored and four stolen bases. 
    Gonzalez was second on the team this season with a .355 batting average and finished with four doubles, a triple, 16 RBIs, 21 runs scored and six stolen bases.   
    This marks the 25th consecutive season (no teams were chosen in 2020 due to the pandemic) Lawrence has had at least one player chosen for the all-conference team.
