Eleven WAC softball players have been named to the Louisville Slugger/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division I All-Region teams announced today. A total of 264 players from 121 different institutions comprise the 10 regional teams.

Nevada pitcher Katie Holverson, third baseman Sam Bias, and outfielders Britton Murdock and Brittany Puzey were named to the All-Pacific Region team to give the Wolf Pack the most honorees in the WAC with four. Joining them on the Pacific Region team was third baseman Kathy Cox of Boise State.

Hawai‘i placed three players - pitcher Stephanie Ricketts, first baseman Amanda Tauali‘i and outfielder Tanisha Milca - on the All-West Region team. Fresno State pitcher Morgan Melloh, Louisiana Tech shortstop Amberly Waits and New Mexico State second baseman Tiare Jennings were also named to the West Region team.

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

The NFCA Division I All-America teams will be announced on Wednesday, May 27.

The complete Pacific and West Region teams are listed below.
