DANBURY, Conn. – Westminster College freshman Cheyenne Piper was recognized as the 2025 Eastern College Athletic Conference Division III pitcher of the year Friday.
Piper's selection to the all-ECAC team comes on the heels of being honored as a National Fastpitch Coaches Association NCAA Division III Region 7 first-team selection May 17. The Ligonier Valley graduate is the program's first all-region first-team selection since Jazmyn Rohrer in 2018. Piper earned the Presidents' Athletic Conference pitcher and newcomer of the year awards. She is Westminster's fourth PAC player of the year honoree, joining Mackenzie Latess (2024), Jazmyn Rohrer (2018) and Jennifer Pancake (2007).
A right-handed pitcher, Piper finished her freshman season with a 17-6 record and 1.71 earned-run average in 20 starts (26 appearances). She fired 17 complete games with a program-record nine shutouts in 147 innings pitched. Piper's 168 strikeouts rank third among the program's all-time leaders while her 17 victories are tied for fourth-most in program history. She has three of Westminster's top 10 single-game strikeout performances, including a 15-strikeout effort in the Titans' 16-inning victory over Thiel College April 23. She was named to the all-PAC Tournament team and scored most outstanding player honors after going 3-0 with three shutouts, 13 strikeouts and three walks over 19 innings pitched during Westminster's run to its second straight PAC title. The No. 2 seed in this year's championship tournament, Westminster did not allow a run in its three tournament wins.
