Fourteen Cavaliers Earn 2025 All-ACC Academic Softball Team Honors
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Fourteen Virginia softball student-athletes have been named to the All-ACC Academic Team, the conference office announced Thursday (July 10). The 14 student-athletes is the second most of any ACC program.
Senior Sarah Coon is a four-time selection to the team. Senior Reece Holbrook, and juniors Eden Bigham, Jade Hylton and Courtney Layne are three-time selections to the team. Senior Kelly Ayer, juniors MC Eaton and Kelsey Hackett, and sophomore Macee Eaton are two-time selections.
Academic requirements for selection to the All-ACC Academic Team are a 3.0 grade point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during one’s academic career. In addition, student-athletes must compete in at least 50 percent of their team’s contests and 20 percent of their team’s contests as a pitcher.
The ACC Honor Roll, which recognizes all conference student-athletes with a grade point average of 3.0 for the 2024-25 academic year, will be released later this summer.
Beginning in 2022-23, the ACC revised its academic and athletic requirements for the league’s All-ACC Academic Team. The award began in 2005-06.
