MADISON, N.J. – Another highly-competitive season of Landmark softball has earned 26 student-athletes spots on the 2011 Landmark Conference Softball Team as voted by the conference's seven head coaches. The All-Landmark Team includes a first and second team, with the voting done by position. The voting took place prior to the start of the Landmark softball postseason.

Four-time conference champions Moravian College led the way with eight selections, including six on the first team. The Greyhounds also shared in each of the individual awards, but the competitiveness of the season was highlighted in tied voting for Landmark Player and Pitcher of the Year. Moravian's Shannen Mohr and Annie Zeleniak of The University of Scranton were selected Co-Players of the Year while Moravian's Elizabeth Python and Susquehanna University's Cara Swerdlow shared Pitcher of the Year accolades.
