FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas won three major SEC awards and seven Razorbacks were named to the all-conference softball team Friday.
Senior outfielder KB Sides was named SEC player of the year, junior Chenise Delce was named SEC pitcher of the year and Courtney Deifel was named coach of the year in the awards voted on by league coaches.
Sides, who transferred from Alabama prior to the season, is the first Arkansas player to win conference player of the year. Delce, a Tulsa transfer, gives the Razorbacks their second pitcher of the year in as many seasons. Mary Haff shared the award with Alabama’s Montana Fouts last year.
