The Tiger softball team finished the season with a 31-27 record after being eliminated by Texas A&M in the consolation round of the Big 12 Tournament on May 10.

But Missouri can take solace in that two Tiger softball players, Karen Williams and Melanie Fisher, earned Louisville Slugger NFCA All-American honors, as announced by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association on May 24.

Williams, named to the NFCA second team, led the Tigers in hitting and was 15th nationally with a .429 batting average. She had 79 hits in 184 at-bats, and recorded a .456 on-base percentage. She stole 24 bases in 28 attempts and crossed home plate 32 times.

Fisher, the All-American third-team designated player selection, had the second-highest batting average on the team at .379. She also led the team in extra-base hits with 10 doubles, three triples and two home runs. She was selected to the All-Big 12 Second Team on May 9. Next year, Fisher will play basketball at MU as well as softball.
