Hawai'i third baseman Melissa Gonzalez, designated player Jenna Rodriguez and outfielder Kelly Majam were named to the All-West Region first team, while teammates pitcher Stephanie Ricketts and shortstop Jessica Iwata were second-team honorees to give the Rainbow Wahine that most selections in the WAC with five.

Joining them on the West Region team was New Mexico State first baseman Hoku Nohara, a first-team pick, and Fresno State utility/pitcher Michelle Moses, a second-team honoree.

Boise State third baseman Katy Cox was named to the Pacific Region second team to round out the group.

The all-region teams were chosen by NFCA member coaches from each region, and all the honorees will now be eligible for selection to the Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-America first, second or third teams. In addition, conference pitchers and players of the year not selected to the regional teams were added for All-America consideration.
