Lebanon, IL - The season has been completed for just over two months, but the McKendree University Softball team is still finding ways to bring in awards on the heels of their Division II National Runner-Up finish. On Wednesday afternoon, the National Fastpitch Coaches Association, in association with Easton, announced their All-American Scholar Athletes for the 2025-2026 Academic Year.
