Florida's Lauren Haeger named 2015 SEC Female Athlete of the Year

Add another trophy to Lauren Haeger's already overstuffed case: The Florida Gators slugger-slash-ace was named the SEC's Female Athlete of the Year for the 2014-15 academic year on Thursday. Arkansas baseball player Andrew Benintendi won the corresponding Male Athlete of the Year.

Haeger, her coach, and the SEC's commissioner each offered comments in a statement.

"To be a part of the Gator softball team has truly been a privilege. Softball is a team sport and I am honored to receive this award on behalf of the Gator program. It has been a wonderful season to share with my teammates, coaches and all the Gator fans.
