SB | Buckley’s List of Postseason Accolades Grows, Named NFCA Third Team All-Region

LOUISVILLE, Kent. — After her historic 2025 campaign, sophomore infielder Sam Buckley has been honored by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association as a third team member of the All-West Region Team. Arguably one of the most stacked region's in Division I Softball, featuring the likes of NCAA Postseason Qualifiers Arizona State, UCLA, Arizona, Stanford, Grand Canyon, Cal, UC Santa Barbara and San Diego State, Buckley was the lone honoree out of the West Coast Conference. This is the second straight year that the Gaels have had an honoree on the All-West Region team, as Odhi Vasquez earned a spot a season ago.
