JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. -- Outfielder Cassidy Skeen (Powell, Tenn.) will join the Carson-Newman softball team for the 2009-10 season, head coach Vickee Kazee Hollifield announced Wednesday.

Skeen comes to C-N after playing last season at Tennessee Tech and will have three years of eligibility remaining.

For the Golden Eagles in 2009, Skeen played in 49 games, including 46 starts, and batted .259 with four doubles and nine RBIs.

As a standout at Powell High School, Skeen played and lettered all four years and earned All-District, All-District Tournament, All-Region and All-KIL honors her first three seasons. She also garnered first team All-State honors her junior year after batting .536.

Skeen will join a C-N squad that went 32-17 in 2009, won its ninth South Atlantic Conference tournament title and advanced to the NCAA Division II Southeast Super Regional.
