Florey, the reigning MVC Freshman of the Year, tossed 190 innings in her freshman campaign while recording 214 strikeouts on her way to a 1.95 ERA. She won 16 games and went the distance on 14 occasions.
On the offensive side of the ball, Florey was also dominant, hitting .297 with 8 home runs, 26 RBIs and 20 walks.
Evansville is set to officially begin the 2017 season on February 17 at the Plainsman Invite in Auburn, Alabama.
