Fort Hays State junior pitcher Maddie Holub picked up another postseason honor on Tuesday, being named to the Daktronics All-South Central Region second team. This is the second All-Region selection for Holub, who was a second team pick in 2010 as a utility player.

Holub was named to the All-MIAA first team as a pitcher after leading the conference and ranking fifth in NCAA Division II in strikeouts with 306. She was twice named the MIAA Pitcher of the Week and won the Louisville Slugger Division II National Pitcher of the Week award for the week of April 16-22. Holub struck out 10 or more batters 16 times this season, including a school-record 16 strikeouts on three occasions. She also threw the fifth no-hitter in FHSU softball history, and first of her career, against Northwest Missouri State on April 17.

After three seasons with the Tigers, Holub has already firmly cemented herself into the record books. This year she set single-season records for strikeouts (306), wins (19) and saves (4) and she currently holds FHSU career records for strikeouts (629) and home runs (27). Holub also led the Tiger offense, hitting a team-high .361 with 57 hits and 10 home runs.

In addition to the All-MIAA and All-Region honors, Holub was named to the Academic All-District team last week and she is now on the ballot to become an Academic All-American.
