BOCA RATON, Fla. - Just hours after earning All-Sunshine State Conference honors, the Embry-Riddle baseball trio of Kirk Sidwell, Zach Howard and Garrett Goodall were named to the Division II Conference Commissioner's Association All-South Region squad. Sidwell (DH) represented the Eagles on the first team, while Howard (OF) and Goodall (SP) both earned second team nods.

Sidwell, Howard and Goodall join Kyle Marsh and Luis Olivier on earning D2CCA All-Region honors after Marsh and Olivier did so in 2018.

Sidwell, a native of Windermere, Florida, led the Eagles' offensively during the regular season, hitting a team-best .374 on 71 hits, including 12 doubles, four triples and five homers. Sidwell has driven in 30 runs and has scored 38 times while slugging .558 with a .429 on-base clip. He has registered 21 multi-hit games and ranks in the SSC top-10 in batting average (8th), slugging percentage (9th), hits (3rd), doubles (10th) and triples (4th).

The active NCAA II leader in career home runs with 42, Howard is hitting .313 with a 1.008 OPS as a senior. The Land O'Lakes, Florida native has 56 hits, with 25 of them going for extra-bases (11 doubles, one triple and 13 homers). Howard's 13 long balls leads the SSC, and his .603 slugging percentage is third-best in the conference. The Eagle outfielder has recorded 48 RBIs and 35 runs in 49 games.

Goodall, hailing from Nanaimo, British Columbia, is in the midst of a breakout year on the mound for the Blue and Gold. The right-hander is 8-2 with a 3.07 ERA in 82.0 innings of work. Goodall has 16 appearances with 11 starts and a 1.27 WHIP. He has struck out 65 batters this season, while opponents are hitting .251 against him. Thus far, Goodall has seven quality starts in his second season for ERAU, with his best outing coming in a complete game, two-hit shutout of Florida Tech on March 23.
