41 from SEC Earn Spots on NFCA All-Region Teams

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (May 18, 2023) – Forty-one student-athletes from the Southeastern Conference were named to the 2023 National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division I All-Region Teams.

The awards honor softball student-athletes from the Association’s 10 regions with first, second and third-team selections. NFCA member head coaches from each respective region nominated student-athletes (eight maximum) and voted for the teams. All awarded student-athletes now become eligible for the 2023 NFCA Division I All-America squads.

Conference players and pitchers of the year from member institutions (must be nominated by member head coach and receive votes) were added to the third team if they were not already voted to an All-Region squad. Additionally, in some instances, limited regional nominations prevented a position from being filled. The 2023 NFCA Division I All-America teams, voted on by the NFCA DI All-American Committee, will be announced on Wednesday, May 31.
