OSU Softball: Cowgirls Receive All-America Honors
Oklahoma State is in the Women’s College World Series, and some of the nation’s best players are why.
Softball America and D1Softball announced their All-America teams on Tuesday, which included three Cowgirls. As expected, OSU’s star pitcher Lexi Kilfoyl was a first-team All-American for both.
In addition to being one of the final three contenders for Collegiate Player of the Year, Kilfoyl has guided the Cowgirls to one of their best seasons in school history. Kilfoyl has been outstanding this season, posting a 26-3 record with a 1.06 ERA.
She is the first Cowgirl to be a top-three finalist for USA Softball’s Collegiate Player of the Year. Kilfoyl has also been named Big 12 Pitcher of the Year and earned a spot on the first-team all-conference.
Kilfoyl has achieved impressive stats, recording 146 strikeouts against 105 hits over 171 innings. She excelled in the postseason, delivering a season-high 12 strikeouts in a Regional game against Kentucky.
Kilfoyl isn’t the only Cowgirl receiving national attention.
OSU freshmen Rosie Davis and Karli Godwin earned freshman All-America honors from Softball America.
Godwin has been one of the nation’s top first-year players, earning first-team All-Big 12 honors and finishing in the top 10 for Freshman of the Year. She boasts a .344 batting average this season, with 15 home runs and 51 RBIs, and is one of only three Cowgirls to have played in every game.
Meanwhile, Davis has recorded 56 hits, 33 RBIs, and eight home runs. Alongside Godwin, Davis was named to the All-Big 12 freshman team. They are the second and third players under Kenny Gajewski to be named to a freshman All-America team, joining Tallen Edwards.
The Cowgirls will need strong performances from their stars in the Women’s College World Series (WCWS). They are set to play their first game in Oklahoma City on Thursday night against Florida.
