Lyndsey Grein, Amari Harper, and Stefini Ma’ake were named to the All-Big Ten First Team, while Elon Butler was selected for the Second Team.

The full list of honorees includes Grein as a senior pitcher and Harper as a senior outfielder on the First Team alongside sophomore first baseman Ma’ake. Butler was named to the Second Team as a senior outfielder. Sophomore second baseman Jones made the All-Defensive Team.

Hewitt was acknowledged for sportsmanship as a senior infielder.

These awards reflect both individual talent and contributions to team success during the season.
