AUSTINTOWN, Ohio--Mount Union junior centerfielder Greg Ferrell (Uniontown/Green) was named to the All-Ohio Athletic Conference First Team while junior shortstop Matt Tracy (Pittsburgh/Central Catholic), senior catcher Connor Nell (Powell/Olentangy) were each honorable mention selections tabbed by the conference's 10 head coaches.

Ferrell is the first Mount Union player since pitcher Shawn Kerek in 2007 to be an All-OAC First Team selection and has been selected for a third-straight year as he was an honorable mention pick in 2008 and on the second team in 2009.  He started in 34 contests leading the team in batting average (.389), home runs (9), triples (4), doubles, stolen bases (10) and matched his single season record with 18 doubles. The reigning national gold glove winner also finished the season with 92 put-outs while recording only one error.

Tracy, who was an All-OAC Second Team pick at second base last year, started all 35 games at shortstop this year and posted a .362 batting average with five doubles and 21 RBI, while Nell played in 34 games, hit .365, drove in 28 runs and had two home runs.

The trio led Mount Union to a 15-20 record in 2010
