STILLWATER — College Softball Communicators (CSC) named Oklahoma State University softball players Rachel Becker, Chyenne Factor and Morgyn Wynne to its Academic All-America second team, while Kelly Maxwell and Katelynn Carwile were named to the CSC Academic All-America third team.
The quintet of Cowgirls ties Oklahoma for the most CSC Academic All-America softball selections in NCAA Division I, II or III and elevates OSU’s Academic All-American total to 110.
Including this season, OSU now has 20 Academic All-Americans in the sport of softball. Only football has more with 22.
