UE excels in the classroom once again

 

The National Fastpitch Coaches Association announced its 2019 Easton/NFCA All-America Scholar-Athletes and top team GPA’s.  The University of Evansville performed exceptionally well with 13 players earning All-America Scholar-Athlete recognition while the program ranked in the top 40 in GPA.

“I am extremely proud of our ladies effort in the classroom.  Here at Evansville, we are true examples of student-athletes where our ladies put academics first,” UE head softball coach Mat Mundell said.  “We let our team major in whatever they want at UE and they pick challenging majors where they can go out and make a positive impact on the community when they graduate.”

Earning All-America Scholar-Athlete recognition for UE were: Bailee Bostic, Olivia Cheatham, Allison Daggett, Halie Fain, Morgan Florey, Eryn Gould, McKenzie Johnson, Kristin Koepke, Alex Latoria, Emily Lockhart, Mackenzie McFeron, Jaime Nurrenbern and Lindsay Renneisen.

“To have 13 All-America Scholar-Athletes is a tribute to how serious our team as a whole takes their education,” Mundell added.

Evansville finished with a cumulative team GPA of 3.490.  That ranked in a tie for 40^th in the country out of 297 Division I teams.
