LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Blugolds.com) — The National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) announced the fifty players chosen for the 2017 Schutt Sports/NFCA Division III National Player of the Year watch list, with Blugold Leah Wolff (Sr. Middleton, WI) earning a spot on the prestigious list.
Wolff and the 14th-ranked Blugolds won the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) regular season title a year ago and Wolff was named to the First Team All-WIAC and NFCA Great Lakes All-Region teams.
In four games this season, Wolff is batting .500 with an on base percentage of .538 and slugging percentage of .500.
The list is a collaborative effort between the NFCA's Division III Head Coaches and All-America committees. The list will subsequently be cut to 25 and 10, before the winner is chosen.
The list will be adjusted to assure the best players during the season are considered, with the eventual winner coming from the group of 25.
The Blugolds (3-1) begin their spring break campaign March 16 in Florida when they take on Franklin and Marshall. Follow all the action on Blugold Game Day.
