BLOOMSBURG, Pa. – Grant Russo (Sugarloaf, Pa./Hazleton Area) and Aiden Murphy (Mountain Top, Pa./Wyoming Seminary) earned National College Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) All-Atlantic Regional honors as announced by the organization on Friday afternoon.
 
Russo landed a spot on the All-Atlantic Region First Team as an outfielder after a stellar debut season with the Huskies. The redshirt-sophomore was named the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division Athlete of the Year, finishing the season with a .419 batting average, 65 hits, 56 runs and 36 stolen bases.
 
Russo became the first PSAC Athlete of the Year for the Huskies since John Stillo in 1997, while also breaking Stillo's single-season stolen bases record from the same year.
 
Murphy earns an All-Atlantic Region nod on the second team as a starting pitcher, going 7-3 on the mound this season. The Mountain Top native finished the season with a 3.92 ERA while posting 57 strikeouts across 59.2 innings pitched for the maroon and gold.
