CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa- Shortstop Matt Scherrman (Sr./Wheaton, Ill.) was named to the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA)/Rawlings All-America Third Team on Thursday night as a part of the Opening Ceremony of the NCAA Division III College World Series in Cedar Rapids.

A four-year starter for UWO, Scherrman was in the starting lineup in all 40 of the Titans' games this season. He helped the team to a 25-15 (15-9 WIAC) record and a fourth-place finish in the league standings. As the four seed in the WIAC tournament, UWO placed third, defeating host UW-Stevens Point before falling to UW-La Crosse and UW-Whitewater.

This season, Scherrman led the conference with five sacrifice flies and was second in hits (67), RBI (54) and doubles (17). The 2023 ABCA All-Region Nine First Team member is a four-year starter for the Titans. He also led the team with a .427 batting average and .720 slugging percentage. His 5-5 batting performance against UW-Eau Claire on April 8 with 3 RBI was a career-best.

At the close of the season, Scherrman earned his second All-WIAC First Team nod to go with an All-WIAC Honorable Mention in the 2021 season. He was also named to the D3baseball.com First Team All-Region Nine and Third Team All-America lists.
