Sophomore catcher, Alexa Carter and senior infielder Angela Petrovitch were named Second Team All-MAC
CLEVELAND – Central Michigan's Alexa Carter and Angela Petrovitch were named All-MAC Second Team on Wednesday morning.
Alexa Carter is a sophomore catcher for the Chippewas and Angela Petrovich is a senior infielder who played second base in her final season as a Chippewa.
Both are first-time winners for CMU. Winners are selected by coaches votes on just conference game performances by the players.
Alexa Carter hit .356 in her first season wearing the Maroon & Gold after transferring from Purdue Fort Wayne after the program was cut following the 2025 season.
Carter slugged .763 in MAC play with six home runs and six doubles and finished third in OPS of all players in the conference (1.244). Late into conference play, teams started to pitch around Carter; she drew 16 walks in the 23 MAC games. She scored 15 runs for CMU, and 12 of her 21 hits in MAC play were for extra bases, totaling 18 RBI.
The sophomore played behind the plate for Central Michigan for the entirety of conference play, posting a perfect fielding percentage, throwing out three runners. CMU's pitching staff led the conference in strikeouts with 177 in MAC play, 60 of which were looking.
Angela Petrovitch served as the leadoff batter for the majority of the Chippewas conference games in her senior season. The senior led the team in batting average for the entire season (.405) and hit .351 in conference play. Petrovitch charted a team-leading 33 hits against MAC opponents with two doubles and two triples. The speedy lefty scored 21 runs for CMU in conference play, drew five walks and struck out just four times, posting a .799 OPS.
Carter and Petrovitch both ended the regular season ranking in the top 10 in various categories.
Carters .356 average ranked her 3rd in the conference, and Petrovitch's .351 earned her the 5th highest spot. With an OPS of 1.244, Carter also earned the 3rd place rank for that category and her six homeruns tied for 8th best in the MAC. The combination of doubles and home runs for Carter allowed her .766 slugging percentage to earn the 4th highest number in the conference and her 16 walks were the 5th highest.
Behind the plate, Carter is one of only three catchers in the conference to earn a 1.000 fielding percentage and the only catcher who caught every MAC game to reach the achievement.
Central Michigan will now play in the Mid-American Conference Tournament for the 15th consecutive year. The tournament is held in Akron, Ohio at Firestone Stadium. The Chippewas earned the #5 seed.
The first game for CMU will be Wednesday afternoon at noon against #4 Ohio.
All games for the tournament can be streamed on ESPN+.
