TYLER, TEXAS – UT Tyler softball has earned eight D2CCA All-South Central Region honors as announced by the organization on Monday afternoon.
 
Cera Blanchard, Kaylee Davis, Sam Schott, JT Smith, Ka'Lyn Watson, and Taryn Barney each earned a first team nod, while Primrose Aholelei and Bailey Krolczyk earned second team honors.
 
28 total players earned a selection, with 14 each going on first and second team. Of those 28, 20 belong to the Lone Star Conference. Of those teams with selections, UT Tyler has the most with their eight. That is the most D2CCA All-Region selections in one season in program history.
 
Each member of the All-South Central Region first team moves on to be nominated for the D2CCA All-American teams to be released later this month. The D2CCA honors are nominated and voted on by sports information directors from the South Central Region which includes the LSC and RMAC.
 
The Division II Conference Commissioners Association encourages and promotes Division II athletics and high standards of sportsmanship as important elements of higher education. The CCA is a key communications link among the conferences as they discuss views, policies and regulations that impact Division II intercollegiate athletics and works closely with the NCAA as a communications channel to NCAA Division II member colleges and universities.
 
UT Tyler will host West Texas A&M in the NCAA South Central Super Regionals to be contested Thursday and Friday at Irwin Field.
