Softball: Gina Snyder & Izzy Pacho lead field from Southern Arizona named NFCA All-America Scholar-Athletes

19 standouts from Southern Arizona were recognized by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) on Wednesday. The 19 standouts earned NFCA All-America Scholar-Athlete status from the 2018-19 school year.

Former Sahuaro standout Gina Snyder and Ironwood Ridge standout Izzy Pacho were named NFCA All-America Scholar-Athletes, representing the University of Arizona. Other Wildcats on the list includes Marissa Schuld (Scottsdale Pinnacle), Tamara Statman (Scottsdale Horizon), Jessie Harper, Riley Kuderca and Rylee Pierce.

Other former Sahuaro standouts honored include Andie Larkins (Seattle) and Lexy Coons (Grand Canyon). Former Ironwood Ridge standout Loriann Olson (Grand Canyon) also made the list with Pacho. Former Canyon del Oro standouts Ellessa Bonstrom (Utah), Maggie Morales (Minnesota-Crookston) and Christine Bellavia (Grand Canyon) were also honored.

Former Cienega standouts Shelby Kennedy (Yale) and Kayla Green (New Mexico State) made the list along with former Salpointe standouts Brianna Aguilar (Grand Canyon) and Allison Curtis (Central Michigan). Former Catalina Foothills standout Nic Conway (Yale), former Marana standout Katie Faulk, former Pusch Ridge standout Maddie Dowdle (Grand Canyon) made the list along with former Tanque Verde standout Brianna Griffiths (Yavapai).

Former Nogales standouts Jessica Gradillas (Bryant) and Alexis Garayzar (Yavapai) were also honored.

This list will be updated all year in an effort to recognize all former local prep stars who have gone on to achieve either academic and/or athletic awards at the next level. These are not high school awards but collegiate and professional recognitions. NOT CHAMPIONSHIPS. If you are aware of anything I have missed along the way, please let me know.
