Softball finalists announced for 2019 Senior CLASS Award

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – Ten NCAA® softball student-athletes who excel both on and off the field were selected as finalists today for the 2019 Senior CLASS Award® in collegiate softball. To be eligible for the award, student-athletes must be classified as NCAA Division I seniors and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition.
