More honors for Fort Hays State’s Maddie Holub. The senior was named First Team All-American by both the National Fastpitch Coaches Association and Daktronics which is voted on by the Division II sports information directors across the country. Holub becomes the first ever softball player in Fort Hays State history to receive honors by both organizations in the same season and is the first ever NFCA First Team All-American and the second Daktronics First Team selection (Jessika Anastos in 2008) in Fort Hays States softball history.

Holub set 12 single season records at Fort Hays State this past spring and now owns 33 total school records at Fort Hays State combining career, single-season and single game marks.

Holub finished 2013 at 29-4 overall with a 1.03 ERA, 26 complete games, 13 shutouts, three saves, and 345 strikeouts in 224 innings pitched. Cox went 25-6 overall with a 0.74 ERA, 28 complete games, 17 shutouts, two saves, and 332 strikeouts in 208.1 innings pitched. However, Cox does bat and Holub was also one of the nation’s top hitters with a .426 batting average, 19 home runs, 10 doubles, three triples, 56 RBI, 62 runs scored, an .841 slugging percentage and .516 on-base percentage.

Now in her collection for the season, Holub has been named to the NFCA and Daktronics All-America First Team, the Daktronics Central Region Pitcher of the Year, the NFCA and Daktronics All-Central Region First Team, the MIAA Pitcher and Player of the Year, and CoSIDA/Capital One Academic All-America Second Team.
