LOUISVILLE, Ky. (May 9, 2024) - Georgian Court Softball senior Kaitlyn Stufft is no stranger to making Lions history, and she did so again Thursday afternoon. As announced by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA), Stufft makes her third NFCA First Team All-East Region. Stufft is the first Lion to ever make three NFCA First Team All-Region teams.

Stufft, a senior from Temecula, Calif. had another outstanding season. She was in contention for the CACC triple crown leading the league with 16 home runs. She also was second hitting .486 and third with 52 runs batted in. Her 18 doubles also tied for the league-high and her .944 slugging percentage was tops in the league and fourth in all of Division II. She finishes her career as just the fourth Lion to ever hit .400 for her career and her 187 RBI are a program-record in the NCAA era while her 47 home runs and .754 slugging percentage are the second-most. 

Earlier this season, Stufft won her second CACC Player of the Year honor. 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. It was also her third CACC First Team honor. She's the 16th Lion to ever earn three All-CACC honors and the seventh to see her name on the First Team three different years. 

As a First Team member, Stufft is now eligible for NFCA All-American consideration.
