OKLAHOMA CITY – The Florida softball team picked up three NFCA All-American accolades with Amanda Lorenz, Kelly Barnhill and Kendyl Lindman each being selected Wednesday afternoon.
The Gators have garnered at least three NFCA All-American awards each year since 2015.
Senior Amanda Lorenz became only the second UF player in program history to be named an NFCA All-American all four years – Hannah Rogers (2011-'14) was the only other player to achieve the feat. Lorenz holds three first team selections (2017-'19) and a third team selection (2016) over her career.
