STARKVILLE – The National Fastpitch Coaches Association announced their All-Region Teams on Tuesday afternoon as senior outfielder Allison Tarbox was named Third Team in the Atlantic Region. Tarbox was also named First Team All-SCAC and Tri-SCAC Player of the Year after leading the SCAC in many different categories throughout the season.
 
Tarbox, a senior out of Katy, Texas and three-time All-SCAC honoree, led or was near the top of the conference in a plethora of offensive categories. She finished the regular season tied for the SCAC lead in home runs (6), triples (5), doubles (11) and total bases (83). Tarbox was second in both RBIs (37) and slugging percentage (.748), tied for third in walks (16), seventh in hits (44) and tied for ninth in runs scored (28).

Tarbox posted single-season career highs for hits, runs scored, home runs, total bases and RBIs this season, and her 18 career home runs currently ranks 10th all-time on the SCAC career list. Tarbox becomes the fourth ever Major to earn SCAC Offensive-Player-of-the-Year honors and the first since 2010 when Jennifer McKinley earned the distinction and the first All-Region selection since then as well.
