Third baseman Valeria Quiroga (Fr., San Benito, Texas, Sociology) was one of 20 players named to the first team, while first baseman Lexi Riccardi (Sr., Redwood City, Calif., Biology) garnered second-team recognition (20 players on the second team). Catcher Lexi Resa (Jr., Liberty, Mo., Biology) was part of the 20-person honorable-mention list as well.
The awards are the first for all three players. The trio helped William Penn to a 20-30 campaign, including a 13-22 Heart record. WPU finished in the top six in the league tournament, highlighted by upsetting top seed Grand View in the first round.
