CollegeSportsMadness.com Preseason All-Atlantic 10 Team 

PHILADELPHIA - Closer Pat Christensen and second baseman Jeff Flax received their first accolades of 2012 earlier this week when CollegeSportsMadness.com named the duo to the preseason all-conference team. 

Christensen broke the single-season school record in 2011 with 13 saves and was 3-2 with a 1.17 ERA in 28 apperances out of the bullpen.  Pat also collected first team all-conference honors, was the Big 5 Student Athlete of the Year and was named to the ACBA/Rawlings All-East Region Team.  

Flax started all 54 games at second base and led the squad with a .318 batting average.  The senior infielder also collected a team-high 70 hits en route to an honorable mention on the All-Atlantic 10 team.  

La Salle begins the 2012 season against Bucknell on February 17 in the opening game of the Davidson Tournament.
