Ten Utah State softball players have earned the Easton Scholar-Athlete Award for the 2017-18 school year, as announced by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) on Wednesday.
To earn the NFCA Scholar-Athlete award, a student-athlete must earn a 3.5 or better grade point average for the entire school year. The 10 USU players recognized are the most the team has had since the award was created for the 2013-14 academic year. The 10 Aggies honored are among 6,280 total student-athletes to be recognized and 1,311 at the Division I level.
Among the 10 Aggies to receive the award are Amee Aarhus, Emily Hunter and Jordyn McCracken, who all graduated in May of 2018.
