LAFAYETTE, La. |
Olivia Lackie and
Mackenzie Brasher were each named to the Reveal Suits Sun Belt Conference Championship all-tournament team on Saturday for their play at the championship event this past week.
The all-tournament selection is the second of Brasher's career, as she also earned the honor at the 2021 tournament. The Jags have now had at least one player selected to the SBC all-tournament team each of the past three seasons and a total of 25 since 2009.
After helping South Alabama (39-14) reach the semifinal round, Lackie recorded a complete-game victory, striking out 10 against James Madison in the quarterfinal round. She finished the tournament with a 0.64 earned run average and struck out 13 in her 11 innings of work, holding opponents to a .190 batting average.
Brasher posted a .400 batting average, scored a run, drove in a run and stole a pair of bases in her two tournament contests.
South Alabama, who had won 14 straight and 25 of its previous 29 prior to Friday's one-run loss to Marshall, will find out if its season will continue on Sunday with the NCAA Championship "Selection Show" which will air on ESPN2 at 6 p.m. (CT). The 14-game win streak was the third-longest in program history and the Jags also posted the second-best record in the Sun Belt during the regular season finishing 20-4. Â
