Minnesota Softball has two All-Americans for the first time ever!

Minnesota standouts Sara Groenewegen and Kendyl Lindaman have both been named to the NFCA All-American 1st Team! This is the first time the Gophers have had two players named as 1st Team All-Americans in the same season. It’s fitting that the awards season has Sara and Kendyl breaking records just like the record season did.

The award caps a great career for Groenewegen. Gopher Sports summarizes her accomplishments better than I ever could:

Groenewegen is the first player in team history to be named an All-American three times. She had her most dominant season in the circle yet.
