OKLAHOMA CITY – Junior Aubrey Leach and senior Meghan Gregg were selected to Division I All-America teams for the 2018 season, the National Fastpitch Coaches Association announced Wednesday.

After a breakout junior campaign that saw her set the program record for runs scored in a season, Leach was named as one of 18 players on the first team. Gregg, the 2017 SEC Player of the Year, collected third team honors.

In her third season on Rocky Top, Leach increased her runs scored and hits totals by more than 10 each compared to the previous two years. She led the SEC in both runs (80) and batting average (.441), and she ranked second in the conference in hits (82) and on base percentage (.565). From Feb. 24 to Mar. 25, Leach recorded at least a hit in 18 consecutive games, a team high. Following the regular season, she was named to the All-SEC first team, and she earns All-American status for the first time in her career.

Gregg followed up her sensational junior season by once again proving to be one of the top offensive talents in college softball. Her 72 RBIs were second most in the nation, and her .761 slugging percentage and .394 batting average were both good for fourth in the SEC. After being named to the All-SEC first team for the third consecutive year, Gregg also won the 2018 Senior CLASS Award, which recognizes achievements both on and off the field. She earns a spot on an All-American team for the second season in a row, following a first-team selection in 2017. One of four seniors on the team, Gregg leaves Tennessee as the program’s career leader in home runs with 57 and RBIs with 263.

Leach and Gregg’s 2018 selections become the 34th and 35th All-American nods in program history. Tennessee has now had 14 players reach All-American status dating back to 2004.
