Oklahoma City, Okla. - Utah's Hannah Flippen was named an All-American by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association this afternoon.
Flippen, an All-American in 2014 as a freshman, was selected to the third team and is Utah's 12th player ever to be honored. She joins Charmelle Green (1990, 91) and Sandy Rhea (1997, 98) as the other two-time honorees.
The Ute second baseman was also named Pac-12 Player of the Year and tabbed as an Academic All-America First Team selection by CoSIDA. Last week, Flippen was also invited to be a member of the USA Softball Women's Elite Team.
While leading the Pac-12 with a .542 batting average, a 1.034 slugging percentage and a .667 on-base percentage, she also ranked second in a number of categories including total bases (61), walks (21), runs scored (24), hits (32) and stolen bases (7). Flippen also finished third in the conference with eight homers.
For her career, she owns the highest batting average of any Ute ever at .382 (Cyndee Bennett, .371, 1994-97) and is fourth all-time with 151 runs scored.
Utah softball landed three players on the NFCA All-Pacific Region team earlier this year. Flippen was joined by sophomore Katie Donovan and senior Kristen Stewart, who each earned third team honors. Utah's 10 all-region selections over the last three years is a record for the program. Â
