Callaghan and Dixon led the Pirates to a third-place finish at the Northwest Athletic Conference tournament as freshman and the program’s first NWAC North title since 2008.

Callaghan was voted the NWAC North MVP this past season. Dixon made the region’s second team.

Peninsula men’s coach Mitch Freeman said three other players have visits set up for later this month.

Laster, Hutchins and the Mosses are part of the most successful sophomore classes in the women’s program’s history.

They helped the Pirates win the NWAC title in 2015 and finish second this year.

Moss was named to the North first team, while Laster was picked for the second team and named the region’s defensive player of the year.
