Cassie Smith has been named to the All-GLVC First Team and D2CCA All-Region Second Team, Emily Wood earned All-GLVC Third Team recognition, and Jayda Long was selected as the program's GLVC James R. Spalding Sportsmanship honoree.

She also posted 15 doubles, four triples, two home runs and 25 RBI while swiping 28 bases on 31 attempts. Smith finishes her Truman career as one of the program's most decorated offensive players and is now a three-time All-GLVC player. The D2CCA Second Team honor adds a second piece of postseason hardware from a separate national body, recognizing Smith among the region's elite for the second straight time in the same week.
