USF softball receives Big East honors

The USF softball team, which took home the university's first Big East Conference regular season title, was honored at Wednesday's award banquet — which took place in Louisville, KY.

Freshman pitcher Capri Catalano — who went 15-1 on the season — took home Big East Rookie of the Year honors. She finished the season with a Big East best 0.96 ERA and also led the conference in saves (6).

Coach Ken Eriksen and his coaching staff earned the Coaching Staff of the Year award after USF finished 47-12 with a 16-4 record in the Big East.

Several other players earned awards, including senior outfielder Kit Dunbar and junior second baseman Britta Giddens who made the All-Conference first-team.

Pitchers Courtney Mosch (Sr.) and Catalano joined sophomore first baseman JoJo Medina on the All-Conference second-team.
