🔼  All American Dawg. Bulldog softball’s Madisyn Kennedy was named a Second Team All-American by D1Softball. Kennedy is the 10th player in program history to earn All-America recognition, and her selection marks the 27th honor for the Bulldogs. The First Team All-SEC slugger had a career year in 2024, launching 17 homers while slugging .792 and driving in 56 runs. All three of those marks were among the top-10 single-season totals in school history.

🔼  Getting Ready To Go. Instead of hosting one of the postseason’s regional groups, the Diamond Dawgs learned on Monday that they will be the No. 2 seed in the Charlottesville Regional hosted by the University of Virginia. The Dawgs will join a tough field that includes the top-seeded Cavaliers, as well as No. 3 seed St. John's and fourth-seeded Pennsylvania.

🔼  Softball Smarts. Bulldog softball saw Madisyn Kennedy, Riley Hull, Josey Marron and Jessie Blaine named to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District team. Hull and Kennedy were also named to the all-district team last year. Additionally, Kennedy was named a finalist for the Academic All-America team and will move on to a national ballot. Student-athletes must post a cumulative GPA of at least 3.50 and have played 90 percent of a team's games or started in 66 percent to be eligible for all-district honors.
