Alabama Softball Lands Four on SEC All-Conference Teams

Montana Fouts, Ashley Prange, Bailey Dowling and Ally Shipman took home All-SEC honors for the Crimson Tide.

Alabama softball was well-represented in the SEC all-conference teams announced Friday. Pitcher Montana Fouts and third baseman Ashley Prange earned first-team All-SEC honors while shortstop Bailey Dowling and catcher Ally Shipman were named to the second team.

Fouts was selected to the All-SEC first team for the third time in four years with the Crimson Tide. Prange, Dowling and Shipman earned all-conference honors for the first time. Alabama has had at least four players earn All-SEC honors in each of the last four years and six of the last eight. In total, Alabama has earned 113 All-SEC accolades in program history.

Fouts (22-6) leads Alabama with a 1.93 earned run average and 259 strikeouts over 1662/3 innings pitched. The Team USA member earned SEC Pitcher of the Week four times this season. 

Prange leads Alabama with a .356 batting average and 13 doubles to go with eight home runs and 27 runs batted in. Shipman leads the team with 45 RBIs while batting .347 with eight home runs. Dowling is Alabama's home run leader with nine and has knocked in 28 RBIs while batting .275. 

Arkansas outfielder KB Sides was named SEC Player of the Year while her teammate Chenise Delse earned Pitcher of the Year. Auburn first baseman Bri Ellis was chosen as the Freshman of the Year. After leading Arkansas to a SEC regular-season title, Courtney Deifel was selected the Coach of the Year.

Arkansas led the way with nine combined selections on the first, second and all-defensive teams.
