Deifel named SEC coach of the year; Razorbacks rack up All-SEC honors

The University of Arkansas softball team recently finished off a record-setting regular season in style with a share of its first Southeastern Conference title.

The No. 6 Razorbacks kicked off the postseason with a haul of honors that the league office announced Tuesday morning.

Courtney Deifel was named SEC Coach of the Year, while pitcher Mary Haff was tabbed as Co-Pitcher of the Year and first team All-SEC. But that’s far from all.

Shortstop Braxton Burnside earned All-SEC first-team honors, while teammates Danielle Gibson, Hannah McEwen and Autumn Storms were on the second team. Gibson was also named to the All-Defensive team, while pitcher Jenna Bloom was chosen to the All-Newcomer team.
