UNI softball: Three named to NFCA All-Region teams

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Three Panthers have been recognized by The National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) to their All-Region Teams

Sophomore catcher Emmy Wells is the lone UNI player named to the NFCA Midwest Regional First Team. Pitcher Kailyn Packard and designated player Mya Dodge have been selected to the Midwest Regional Third Team to round out the Panther selections from the NFCA. The members of UNI softball are three of 381 student-athletes from 152 programs that have received 2022 NFCA Division I All-Region accolades.

The awards from the NFCA honor softball student-athletes from the Association's 10 regions with first, second and third-team selections. NFCA member head coaches from each respective region nominated student-athletes and voted for the teams. All awarded student-athletes now become eligible for the 2022 NFCA Division I All-America squads.

Twelve MVC student athletes made NFCA All-Region teams with two on the first, four on the second team and six on the third team. Nebraska and Oklahoma State topped the Midwest Region with seven and six honors each. Both of the programs had at least two first teamers.

The 2022 NFCA Division I All-America teams, voted on by the NFCA DI All-American Committee, will be announced on Wednesday, June 1.
