No. 3 Oregon softball needed no regular season awards to prove they had a historically great season, their 46-9, 19-5 Pac-12 record and their first-ever conference title spoke for them. The record 17 All-Pac-12 honors are just a bonus.

Senior Jessica Moore, one of the most decorated pitchers in Oregon history, received the Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year award. She is only the second Oregon pitcher to do so. Her 25-4 record, nine wins against top 25 opponents and finishing the season with a 1.59 ERA proved most impressive in the conference.

Senior second baseman Kaylan Howard, junior shortstop Courtney Ceo, junior catcher Alexa Peterson, sophomore center fielder Janie Takeda and freshman pitcher Cheridan Hawkins all joined Moore on the All-Pac-12 First Team.

Senior right fielder Samantha Pappas made the All-Pac-12 Second Team, and junior first baseman Kailee Cuico, freshman utility player Koral Costa and catcher Janelle Lindvall received honorable mentions.

Costa, Hawkins and Lindvall, in addition to their All-Pac-12 honors, made the All-Pac-12 Freshman Team with Danica Mercado getting an honorable mention.

Head coach Mike White won Pac-12 Coach of the Year. It was just the second time an Oregon coach won the award and came in his fourth year on the job.

The awards are tangible proof of the stellar year for the softball team, but they still have much to accomplish before they’re done on the year. Oregon, who won the right to host Regional play, will kick off the postseason Thursday at 6 p.m. against BYU at Howe Field.
