LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Tiger freshman Hailey Reed has been named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-West Region Third Team, the NFCA announced Thursday morning. It is the second time in just as many years a Tiger has taken home All-West region honors after junior Rachel Sellers earned the award following last season. Reed also becomes the first Tiger freshman named to the All-West region since Kelsey Rodriguez in 2007.
The awards honor softball student-athletes from the association's 10 regions with first, second and third teams selected for each region. The all-region teams were voted on by NFCA member coaches from each respective region, and all the honorees now become eligible for selection to one of three 2016 NFCA Division I All-America teams.
