The WT duo of senior infielder Jordyn De Los Santos and freshman left-handed pitcher/designated hitter Brooke Janning swept the first National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division II Louisville Slugger Player of the Week and Wilson Pitcher of the Week awards of the season, respectively.
 
Two-time defending national champion and UTT was the top pick in the LSC preseason poll. ASU senior outfielder Tatiana Trotter and OC senior right-hander Jill Dickson were named LSC Preseason Player and Pitcher of the Year, respectively, to headline the 34 players on the league’s Preseason Watch List.
 
The nine-team, single-elimination LSC Softball Championship is scheduled for May 6-9 (Wednesday-Saturday) at the site of the league’s No. 1 seed. The LSC Tournament Champion will receive the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Division II Championship.
 
The South Central Regionals are scheduled for May 14-16 with the Super Regional following on May 21-22. The campus sites are TBD. The national finals are set for May 28-June 3 at Frost Stadium at Warner Park in Chattanooga, Tenn.
