The league’s top defensive standouts were honored Wednesday as the Lone Star Conference Softball Golden Glove Awards were announced.
For the ninth time, the Golden Glove Awards were determined by a vote of LSC head coaches based on defensive performance alone for all nine positions.
Texas A&M-Commerce had the most defensive stars with three, while LSC Champion UT Tyler, Angelo State, and West Texas A&M each had two. Texas A&M International and Texas A&M-Kingsville added one honoree.
The recipients included WT catcher Shanna McBroom and UTT pitcher Erin Hill. The infield was composed of TAMUC’s trio of Avery Boley at first base, Chealsea Slider at shortstop, and Madison Schaefer at third base, along with ASU’S Ashlyn Lerma at second base.
The outfield selections were ASU’s Courtney Barnhill, WT’s Ruby Salzman, TAMUK’s Loren Kelly, UTT’s Haleigh Swinney, and TAMIU’s Kristy Alanis.
Shaefer, Barnhill, Salzman, and Kelly are all repeat selections.
