LOUISVILLE, Ky. (May 22, 2024) - Georgian Court Softball Senior Kaitlyn Stufft picks up the 16th All-American Award in program history. The National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) released their annual list of All-Americans with Stufft earning First Team honors at first base.

Stufft has been on the receiving end of plenty of awards this postseason. Already Stufft has earned two All-Region First Team awards, one regional Player of the Year and the Conference Player of the Year award.

The Temecula, Calif. native was in contention for the CACC triple crown leading the league with 16 home runs and third with 52 runs batted in. She also was second in the conference and third nationally hitting .486. Her 18 doubles also tied for the league-high and her .944 slugging percentage was tops in the league and third in D2. She finishes her career as just the fourth Lion to ever hit .400 for her career batting .402 in 183 games and 552 at bats and her 187 RBI are a program-record in the NCAA era while her 47 home runs and .754 slugging percentage are the second in Lions history. 

One of the most decorated student-athletes in Lions history, this is Stufft's second career All-American award. Following the 2023 season, Stufft was a D2CCA All-American Honorable Mention. In addition to the D2CCA Regional Player of the Year award, Stufft won her second CACC Player of the Year honor as well. She's just the second Lion to ever be named a two-time CACC Player of the Year, joining Rachel Ruch in 2011 and 2012. Her combined six All-Region awards are the most in Lions history. 

In GCU Softball history, this is the 16th All-American award and 13th in the NCAA era. It's the 11th handed out by the NFCA and Stufft is the ninth First Team NFCA All-American. She's also the fifth Lion to ever earn multiple All-American Awards, the second (along with Ruch) to earn All-American honors in multiple years and the first to be named an All-American in back-to-back seasons.
