Softball leads Pac-10
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - The Oregon State softball team tied for the most Pac-10 All-Academic selections with seven, as announced Tuesday by Pac-10 Commissioner Tom Hansen.
The Beavers were led by junior Kelly Dyer, who earned her second-consecutive first-team accolades. The human development and family sciences major already earned second-team CoSIDA Academic All-District 8 honors, which was announced earlier this month.
Six others were named All-Academic Honorable Mention: senior Paige Lowe, who earned her third-career honor; juniors Tarah Black, Dani Chisholm and Alana Ford, who each racked up her second academic accolade; and sophomores Erin Guzy and McKenna Lowe, who each tallied her first recognition.
