The Lone Star Conference recognized its softball standouts Thursday as the postseason awards were announce by league officials at the championship banquet.
LSC champion West Texas A&M had a league-high 12 players receive All-LSC honors including six first-teamers.
WT, which won the conference title for the second time with a 23-4 record, was represented on the All-LSC first team by Alyssa Lemos, Jessica Sipe, Renee Erwin, Rita Hokianga, Hannah Newcomb, and Allie Cranfill.
The Lady Buffs claimed a few special awards as well. Hokianga was named Pitcher of the Year and Newcomer of the Year, and Kevin Blaskowski claimed Coach of the Year honors.
Angelo State’s Morgan Spearman was tabbed Player of the Year, while the Rambelles Kenedy Urbany took home Freshman of the Year acclaim.
ASU and Texas Woman’s each had eight players named to the all-conference team. Midwestern State and Cameron had four apiece, while Tarleton State had three, and Eastern New Mexico two.
Overall, 41 student-athletes were honored by the all-conference program, with a player from seven of the eight LSC teams. The awards are voted upon by the league coaches, who determined a 16-player first team by position, and second and third teams, each consisting of 12 players regardless of positions.
