Durham College women’s fastball adds two Scarborough Stingrays
for the 2009 season

Oshawa, Ont. – Durham College Women’s Fastball Head Coach Jim
Nemish is proud to announce the addition of two players for the
upcoming season. Joining the 2009 Lords fastball team are Shannon
Stevenson (Scarborough, Ont.) and Tiana Cosentino ( Toronto,
Ont.).

Shannon Stevenson is a product of the Scarborough Stingrays fastball
program. In 2008, she batted .402 for the Stingrays and helped
guide the team to their regular season and playoff championship.
In 2007, Stevenson was part of the Scarborough team that captured
a bronze medal at the Eastern Canadian Championship and the Provincial
Championship. Stevenson is also a multi-sport star as she was
the Varsity Hockey captain in 2007, 2008 and 2009, picking up
MVP honours in 2007 for R.H. King Academy.

“Shannon is a catcher/first baseman and will be looked upon to
take some of the load off veteran catcher Shannon Ferguson,”
said Lords Head Coach Jim Nemish. “Her skills behind the plate
are outstanding and she will also give us some depth at first
base. We look forward to having her in the lineup next year.”

Joining her Scarborough Stingrays teammate for the 2009 edition
of the Lords will be Tiana Cosentino. In 2008, Cosentino batted
.419 for Scarborough with a .612 slugging percentage and 26 runs
batted in, helping the team to a regular season and playoff crown.
She is a natural third baseman but she has the skills to play
anywhere on the field. Cosentino was also a member of the bronze
medal winning team at the 2007 Eastern Canadian Championship.

“Tiana has a good work ethic, a strong arm and the ability to
play multiple positions,” said Nemish. “We look for her to add
some power to the team and much needed bench strength to our
program.”

Cosentino and Stevenson will join Janna Hagan (Sherwood Park,
Alta.) as the freshman class on this year’s squad, although Nemish
is still looking to strengthen the team with a couple more new
recruits. The rookies combined with veteran talent returning
to the team will put the Lords in good position heading into
2009 in an attempt to win the school’s 15th OCAA fastball championship.
