Ella Johel Earns NFCA All-Region Honors

Canisius outfielder Ella Johel was named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-Northeast Region Second Team, the organization announced Thursday.
 
Johel is the eighth different Canisius player to be named to an NFCA All-Region team in the last decade, and her inclusion on this year's list gives Canisius a representative on the all-region squad for the fifth consecutive year. Of the 35 players named to the NFCA All-Northeast Region First, Second and Third Teams in 2025, she is one of six players from the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) to be recognized.
 
The East Amherst, N.Y., native started all 52 games for the Golden Griffins in 2025, where she hit a team-best .395, which ranked fifth in the MAAC. Overall, she ranked in the top-five in the MAAC in eight different offensive statistical categories, including batting average, hits (68), doubles (15), triples (9), RBI (45), runs scored (43), slugging percentage (.674) and OPS (1.101). Her 15 doubles this season were tied for fourth-most by a Canisius player in a single-season and her nine triples ranks third-best in the nation.
 
Johel led the Griffs with 22 multi-hit games and she drove in multiple RBI in 12 games, which also led the team. Of her 45 RBI on the season, 22 of those came with two outs.
 
In addition to being named to the All-Northeast Region Second Team, Johel was named to the 2025 All-MAAC First Team and she earned MAAC All-Academic Team honors for her work in the classroom, as well.
