LAFAYETTE-Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns centerfielder Karli Hubbard picked up
another accolade on the year as she was named third team All-American on
Wednesday afternoon by the National Fastpitch Coaches’ Association (NFCA). 

In the Cajuns’ softball history, twenty different student-athletes, including
Hubbard, have combined to give Louisiana its 37 All-American awards.  Hubbard
becomes the ninth All-American under co-head coaches Stefni and Michael
Lotief – nine seasons. The Ragin’ Cajuns have had at least one player
selected as an All-American in 18 of the last 21 seasons (1989-2009).

Hubbard, the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year, was one of the most
consistent hitters in the country, ranking in the NCAA in batting average,
toughest to strikeout and on-base percentage throughout the year.  Hubbard
led the Cajuns in batting average, runs scored, hits, triples, sacrifice
bunts, total plate appearances, at bats, games played and games started, and
she also ranked in the Cajuns’ top five in eight other categories. 

The Pac 10 and SEC dominated selections, with Women’s College World Series
No. 1 seed Florida leading all teams with five players on one of the three
teams. All eight schools competing in the Series, which starts Thursday in
Oklahoma City, earned at least two All-American nods, while a total of 19
honorees will compete in this week’s championship.
