LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Erin Caviness earned National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-West Region Third Team honors, association officials announced.
"We are so proud of the year that Erin had," head coach Dedeann Pendleton-Helm said. "What a well-deserved honor amongst so many talented players in our region. Erin will certainly be missed."
The Thorton, Colorado native collected the first NFCA All-Region selection in the program's NCAA Division I era.
She became the first Bear in the NCAA Division I era to throw a perfect game, retiring all 21 UC Santa Barbara batters Feb. 23.
Caviness appeared in 31 of the Bears' 53 games. She led the pitching staff in starts (26), appearances (31), complete games (20), ERA (2.56), WHIP (1.03), Wins (17), shutouts (9), saves (2), innings pitched (169.1) and opponents' batting average (.227).
She set a school record with 180 strikeouts and a .227 opponent batting average. Her 17 wins fell one shy of the school record, while the 20 complete games ranked second, two off the program record. Caviness tossed 169 and 1/3 innings, with a 2.56 ERA, ranking fifth in each category. Her 26 starts tied for sixth on the program's list.
All records and rankings refer to the NCAA Division I era.
