Hawai`i's Stacey Porter and Fresno State's Christina Clark and Jamie Southern were selected as Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Americans. Porter was the WAC's only first team honoree this season. This is the second- straight year in which Southern picked up All-America accolades. As a freshman, she was a first team honoree at pitcher. This season, Southern earned All-America honors at utility. Clark is a second team honoree at shortstop.
Hawaii's Porter was the WAC Player of the Year, leading the WAC in hitting with a .479 batting average. She also earned first team all-region honors this season. Porter is the fourth Rainbow Wahine All-American and the first since Natalie Gonzales in 2001.
As the 10th Bulldog freshman to earn All-America honors, Clark put together a stellar rookie season and will return as the country's top shortstop next year.
Setting the school's freshman mark in total bases (141) and tying the school's single-season home run record (15), Clark is the second infielder at Fresno State to be an All-American as a freshman.
Southern recorded her 60th career victory this season when the Bulldogs defeated No. 2 seed and seventh-ranked Georgia in NCAA Regional action. Already ranking No. 2 all-time at Fresno State in career strikeouts (740), she has ranked all 14 weeks in the NCAA statistics for ERA since her debut.
As the second pitcher in school history to amass 700 or more career strikeouts and the quickest Bulldog to tally 500 career strikeouts (64 games), Southern became the first Bulldog hurler to not only throw back-to-back 200-strikeout seasons but back-to-back 300-strikeout seasons
Down the stretch, Southern was remarkable. At the plate she hit .375 (33-88) with 10 runs, four doubles, four home runs, 19 RBI and 49 total bases for a .557 slugging percentage in her last 27 games. Overall, she finished second on the team in batting (.337)and RBI (31).
