WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. - Monmouth University placed nine players on 2010 New Jersey Collegiate Baseball Association (NJCBA) All-State teams, as announced by the organization this week.

In addition, the Hawks landed four freshmen on the NJCBA All-Rookie squad.

Dombrowski was named to his second straight NJCBA First-Team, as the senior started 47 games for the Hawks, and sported a career-best .331 average, including a .355 mark in league games. Dombrowski, who threw out 12 would-be base stealers on the year, also added 55 hits, which included six doubles and seven home runs, while driving in 39 runs.

Starting pitcher Meyers led the Monmouth pitching staff with 12 starts, posting a 6-3 record and a 3.93 ERA, in 75.2 innings of work on the year. The left-hander also struck out a team-high 51 batters and held opposing hitters to a .261 batting average.

Rosenkranz, the Hawks' everyday shortstop, earned his second appearance in the NJCBA All-State selections, as the sophomore was named to the 2009 NJCBA All-Rookie squad. Rosenkranz, a first-team selection this season, ranked second on the squad with a .346 batting average, while collecting 56 hits, including seven home runs.

Terry makes his third straight appearance on the NJCBA postseason award list, after being named to the First-Team last season, and the 2008 NJCBA Rookie of the Year. The junior started all 49 games for the Blue and White, while registering a .337 average, and leading the Hawks in hits (66), doubles (20), home runs (nine), and total bases (117).

The senior recorded three complete games, including a 5-2 victory against Central Connecticut State when he allowed two runs, struck out six, and did not walk a batter, and ended his career with a full slate in the NEC Tournament, posting a career-high 10 strikeouts against top-seeded Sacred Heart.
