Starkville, Miss. – The National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) announced four Major Softball players as All-Scholar Athletes for the 2010-11 season. Additionally, the team was ranked 79th among all Division III Schools with a team Grade Point Average with a 3.230.
Megan Yglesias, Allison Tarbox, Callaghan Starrett, and Emily Spicer were the four players to earn All-Scholar Athlete, an award that recognizes individual athletes who have reached and maintained a GPA for 3.5 throughout the 2010-11 season.
The National Fastpitch Coaches is the professional growth organization for fastpitch softball coaches from all competitive levels of play.
The idea for a softball coaching association first developed from discussions at the National Collegiate Women's Softball Championships in the early 1980s. Although mostly collegiate coaches comprised the organization's membership in the early days, today's college coaches are joined by high school and travel ball/club coaches, umpires, as well as other fans of fastpitch softball. In 1997, the Association's membership reached the 2,000 mark, and today there are more than 4,100 members.
