OU softball leads All-Big 12 selections with nine; OSU's Lexi Kilfoyl named top pitcher

Despite finishing in a disappointing second place, OU softball nabbed a conference-leading nine All-Big 12 honors, while Oklahoma State's Lexi Kilfoyl was named Pitcher of the Year, the conference announced Wednesday.

Kilfoyl leads the Big 12 with a 1.11 ERA and is the Cowgirls' third Pitcher of the Year winner in the last four seasons. Her .172 opponent batting average ranks second in the conference.

Jayda Coleman, Tiare Jennings, Alyssa Brito, Kelly Maxwell and Kinzie Hansen represented the Sooners on the All-Big 12 first team. Rylie Boone, Alynah Torres, Kierston Deal and Ella Parker were named to the second team.

Three OSU players made up the first team including Kilfoyl, Karli Godwin and Caroline Wang. Ivy Rosenberry was named to the second team.

OU catcher Kinzie Hansen took home the Defensive Player of the Year award. Hansen committed just three errors over 214 innings, including none during conference play, and allowed only 14 wild pitches.

OU's Parker and Kasidi Pickering, along with OSU's Godwin and Rosie Davis were named to the freshman team.

The regular-season conference champion Texas boasted the Player of the Year Reese Atwood, Freshman of the Year Teagan Kavan and Coach of the Year Mike White.

The Big 12 softball tournament begins Wednesday afternoon at Devon Park in OKC.
