NCAA DI All-American Release-19 National Fastpitch Coaches Association Brian Stanley, Director of Communications FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – May 29, 2019 Fifty-four student-athletes named 2019 NFCA Division I All-Americans OKLAHOMA CITY – Fifty-four student-athletes from 29 different institutions were selected to one of three 2019 NFCA Division I All- America teams, the Association announced on Wednesday afternoon during its annual press conference at the Women’s College World Series. Additionally, the NFCA announced its annual Diamond Sports/NFCA Catcher of the Year and New Balance/NFCA Golden Shoe award winners. The Southeastern Conference led the way with 15 honorees. The Pac-12 Conference had 13 representatives, while the Big 12 earned 10 plaudits. The Big Ten (5), Atlantic Coast Conference (3) and Colonial Athletic Association (3) also had multiple recognitions. 2019 NFCA DI All-Americans University of Arizona junior Deja Mulipola and Southeastern Louisiana senior second baseman Jaquelyn Ramon were named the Diamond Sports/NFCA Division I Catcher of the Year and New Balance/NFCA Division I Golden Shoe recipients, respectively. The eight programs participating in the 2019 WCWS had a total of 25 All-Americans, 11 on the first team. Oklahoma led the way with six selections, while the University of Arizona had five and the University of Washington four. The University of Alabama and University of Florida took home three honors, while UCLA was represented by two student-athletes. Oklahoma State and the University of Minnesota had one honoree each. The Sooners and Wildcats topped the charts with three first-teamers, while the Huskies had two. This year’s teams are highlighted by a pair of four-time NFCA All-Americans. Joining the elite list is first-team outfield selection Amanda Lorenz from the University of Florida, who was voted in as the 35th four-time honoree, and third-team at-large pitcher Megan Good of James Madison University as the 36th. Lorenz, Garcia, Wisconsin’s Kayla Konwent, Oklahoma’s Caleigh Clifton, Kentucky’s Abbey Cheek, Washington’s Sis Bates and Arizona’s Alyssa Palomino-Cardoza were unanimous selections. Lorenz, a top-10 finalist for USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year, is making her third consecutive appearance on the first team after a third-team nod as a freshman in 2016. Lorenz ranks sixth in on-base percentage at .564 and fourth with 62 free passes. For her career, Lorenz has drawn 236 walks and owns a .550 on-base percentage. She enters the WCWS batting .419 with 13 doubles, four triples and 11 round trippers to go along with 41 RBI, 57 runs scored and a .721 slugging percentage. Garcia, a three-time NFCA All-American, captured her second straight unanimous first-team honor at Utility-Pitcher. The Pac-12 Player and Pitcher of the Year leads the Bruins pitching staff with a 24-1 record, 1.01 ERA and 253 strikeouts in 166 innings of work. Offensively, she has contributed with a .344 batting average, nine doubles, nine home runs, 49 RBI and a .443 on-base percentage. The junior owns the third lowest ERA in Division I, while ranking seventh in hits allowed per seven innings and 15th in strikeouts. We go around the horn with our next four unanimous selections in first baseman Konwent, second baseman Clifton, third baseman Cheek and shortstop Bates. Konwent and Cheek are earned their first NFCA All-America accolades. Konwent, a junior, was named Big Ten Player of the Year, a first in Badger softball history.

A top-26 candidate for USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year, she is hitting .394 with 17 homers, 64 RBI, 58 runs scored and a .782 slugging percentage. Roaming the outfield, she is perfect defensively in 68 chances. The three first-team pitchers are Oklahoma’s Giselle “G” Juarez, Minnesota’s Amber Fiser and Washington’s Gabbie Plain.

Cait Brooks from Notre Dame captured the first-team NFCA All-America honor in the Designated Player or Utility-Non-Pitcher category.

  • UCLA Beats Oklahoma with Walk-Off to Clinch National Softball Title
    UCLA Beats Oklahoma with Walk-off to Clinch National Softball Title UCLA Athletics A two-out, walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh inning from sophomore Kinsley Washington delivers a 5-4 UCLA win over Oklahoma at the NCAA Women's College World Series Tuesday night before a sell-out crowd in Oklahoma City. By Laurie Lauletta-Boshart June 5, 2019 8:24 AM OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — Following a 16-3 route over Oklahoma in Game 1 of the NCAA Women's College World Series, the UCLA Bruins were looking to finish off the top-seeded Sooners in Game 2, but Oklahoma was hoping to play the spoiler. Facing elimination, the Sooners had to win Tuesday night to force a Game 3 in the best-of-three championship series. All American Giselle “G” Juarez was in the circle for Oklahoma, while two-time National Player of the Year Rachel Garcia was on the bump for UCLA. After struggling at the plate in Game 1, senior Sydney Romero opened up play with a leadoff double, igniting the crowd of 8,373 at the USA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City as she jumped on the second pitch to send it into right center. But a couple of strikeouts and a hard-hit grounder expertly fielded by third baseman Brianna Tautalafua, ended the inning for Oklahoma with no runs on the board. UCLA immediately countered with back-to-back home runs from Bubba Nickles and Briana Perez in the bottom of the first, putting UCLA up 2-0. Oklahoma answered with a Sydney Romero home run to left center in the top of the third to get the Sooners on the scoreboard.

Coach, we'll start with to do that with every leadoff and every pitch that was general comments about the game. taken. They were jumping real hard, almost to a point where Lea (Wodach) was wanting to pick that way.
