Notable Notes

• Barnhill and Lorenz were recently named USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year Top-26 Finalists. The Gators are one of seven programs to have at-least two players selected as finalists for the award.
• Barnhill ranks third in the nation in total strikeouts with 261 so far on the year. The Marietta, Ga. native ranks second in UF history with 1,111 career strikeouts and is fast approaching the record of 1,116 that Stacey Nelson set during her career from 2006-'09.
  • The Marietta, Ga. native is also the active NCAA career leader in the category throughout all divisions.
• Barnhill and Lorenz were recently named as Senior CLASS Award top-10 finalists. It's the first time in program history that two Gators made the top-10 in the same season and it's only the third time in the awards history. Fans can vote for Barnhill and Lorenz daily HERE.
