Ottumwa -- The Indian Hills Community College softball team and five Warrior players have been honored for their work in the classroom during the 2010-11 academic year.

The National Fastpitch Coaches Association has named Indian Hills an All-Academic Team with the 10th-best team grade point average of any two-year school in the nation.

In addition, IHCC sophomores Kylee Coughlin (Melrose), Nicole Steinle (Ft. Collins, Col.), Kristen Paulson (Bettendorf) and Morgan Powers (Indianola) and freshman Cortney Wood (Alburnett) were named NFCA All-American Scholar Athletes, an honor given to those individuals with a GPA of at least 3.5.
