CINCINNATI - Senior Jordan Conley has been named to College Baseball Insider's Preseason All-America Honorable Mention Team. The Musketeers' top returning closer has been named to the roster as a relief pitcher - he is also the team's starting shortstop.
Last season Conley collected 10 saves for the Musketeers, setting a new program record for saves in a season. His 1.19 ERA was also good for a program best earned run average for a season as he gave up only three runs in 22.2 innings of work over 21 appearances.
Conley, along with Charlotte's Rob Lyerly who was named to the Second Team, are the only two recognized by CBI from the Atlantic 10 Conference.
The Musketeers kick off the 2009 season this weekend as they are set to participate in NC State's Summit Hospitality Invitational Feb. 20-22. XU's first opponent of the season will be Santa Clara with first pitch set for 11:00 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 20.
