Student-athletes from Iowa State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech landed NFCA All-Region honors. A total of 22 players were recognized, including a Conference-leading eight selections from Oklahoma.
Thirteen players earned first team recognition, led by Oklahoma with seven honorees. Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech each notched two.
The awards honor softball student-athletes from the Association’s 10 regions with first, second and third-team selections. NFCA member coaches from each respective region voted on the teams, and all the honorees now become eligible for the 2019 NFCA Division I All-America squads.
Conference players and pitchers of the year from member institutions are added to the third team if they were not already voted to an All-Region squad. In some instances, limited regional nominations prevent a position from being filled.
The 2019 NFCA Division I All-America teams will be announced at approximately 5 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, May 29, via NFCA.org.
