On The Fly, Published May 11, 2006 –

MIAMI – Receiving the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year Award wasn’t the only good news for Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajun senior left fielder Danyele Gomez on Wednesday.
Gomez, the Sun Belt’s Triple Crown winner from Metairie, was named one of the 10 finalists for the 2006 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year Award, announced by the Amateur Softball Association and USA Softball.

The award, the only national player of the year honor for the sport, is designed to recognize outstanding athletic achievement by female collegiate softball players across the country.

On May 28 the list will be cut to three, with that trio traveling to Oklahoma City for the announcement of the winner during opening ceremonies of the 2006 NCAA Women’s College World Series on May 31.
