BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (Jan. 28, 2015) - For the second-straight season, LIU Post third baseman Tom Tolan (Malverne, N.Y.) has been selected to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Preseason All-East Region Second Team.

Tolan, a semi-finalist for the 2014 Jaeger Sports Tino Martinez Award, a Division II All-East Region second-team honoree and the 2014 East Coast Conference Player of the Year, led the Pioneers in eight offensive categories during his senior season. He paced the green and gold and was second in the conference with a career-best .361 batting average. Tolan also spearheaded the team in on-base percentage (.418), slugging percentage (.418), runs scored (26), hits (44), triples (2), runs batted in (16) and total bases (51).
 
In addition, the Malverne native played a solid third base to anchor the LIU Post defense. Through a total of 89 chances, Tolan committed just four errors for a .955 fielding percentage. Tolan was a threat on the basepaths as well, swiping 15-of-19 bags.

Tolan and the Pioneers open up the 2015 campaign on Feb. 28, when they host Franklin Pierce in a doubleheader at the LIU Post Baseball Complex. First pitch is set for noon.
