Three Cougars garnered All-America Scholar-Athlete honors for the 2016-17 academic year, the National Fastpitch Coaches Association announced Tuesday.
Briielle Breland, Arianna Paulson and Brooke Vander Heide represented BYU softball after earning at least a 3.5 GPA.
Last season, Breland also received All-West Coast Conference Second Team and WCC Player of the Week honors as a junior. At Saint Mary’s, she went 2-for-2 with two runs, two RBIs and one home run.
Paulson pitched her first career shutout against Detroit Mercy as a junior and came in as relief against Sacramento State, pulling out a win.
