HONORABLE MENTION (in alphabetical order)
Kalli Hodgson, Sr., P, Belmont softball

Ray allowed three runs, two earned, on 12 hits and three walks in 13 innings. Ray was back at peak form in a 1–0 victory over Argyle/Black Hawk Thursday afternoon, striking out 12 while allowing one walk in the five-hit shutout.
