Allison Davis Selected to VaSID All-State Team

Virginia outfielder Allison Davis picks up fourth postseason honor.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia outfielder Allison Davis (Oak Hill, Va.) added to her wealth of postseason honors with a selection to the 2018 Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID) All-State Softball Team. The first-team recognition marks the third appearance on a VaSID All-State team for Davis.
 
An All-ACC second-team performer and a second-team NFCA All-Region selection, Davis led the Cavaliers with a .365 batting average. The senior put together a career year, launching 11 home runs and adding 11 doubles to slug .635. With 40 runs batted in and another 43 runs scored, Davis became the first Cavalier to notch 40 in both categories since 2003.
 
Davis also set a historic bar by homering in five consecutive games. The feat was the first five-game home run streak in Virginia softball history.
 
The honor is the fourth of the season for Davis, who also earned an All-ACC Academic nod along with All-ACC and All-Region recognition.
