OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - North Florida softball's Allison Benning has been named to D1Softball's Second Team All-American squad as a two-way player, as announced by the national organization on Tuesday afternoon.
Benning continues to make waves in the national postseason award cycle with her second recognition as a two-way player. She was recently named Second Team All-America by Softball America this past week.
She is one of four players from a non Power-Four program to be named to either First or Second Team All-American by D1Softball. She was selected Second Team All-America as a utility/pitcher, only behind Nebraska's Jordy Bahl at that position.
"Another Second Team All-American recognition for Benny's resume. It's a great day not only for her, but our program as well," said head coach Jeff Conrad. "In just a couple of weeks, we went from no D-I All-American recognitions to two. We're really happy for her and the greater UNF Softball community."
Benning has racked up a plethora of postseason awards earning the trifecta of ASUN Player of the Year, ASUN Pitcher of the Year and ASUN Scholar-Athlete of the Year. She also was named ASUN All-Tournament MVP and was named NFCA Second Team All-Region over this past month as well.
The senior finished her career during the regional weekend where she led UNF in the circle for 315 pitches over a span of 48 hours. She helped lift the Ospreys to a pair of victories against nationally-ranked Virginia in the NCAA Columbia Regional for the program's first regional title game appearance.
