Becker, Gaskey, Twaddle Honored By CoSIDA
5/7/2015 1:14:00 PM | Softball
Seniors Alexa Becker and CheyAnne Gaskey and sophomore Jessica Twaddle were named as Academic All-District Softball selections by Capital One Thursday, as  selected by CoSIDA.
Murray State led the way in District 2 with the most selections of any school, beating out Kentucky and Louisville, who followed with two each. The trio's selection marks the third consecutive season that at least one Racer has been received the honor. Becker and Gaskey were the program's first honorees in 2013, followed by Leslie Bridges last season.
Becker is a senior business administration major who has a 3.97 cumulative GPA. The All-OVC honoree hit .349 this season and leads the team with 26 walks and 10 stolen bases. She is currently the program's all-time leader in runs, RBIs, doubles, triples and home runs.
Gaskey won a program single-season record 19 games this season en route to her first All-OVC honor. A marketing major in her first semester of graduate school, finished her undergraduate career with a 3.95 cumulative GPA. She is the only pitcher in program history to win 50-plus games and is the all-time leader in wins, saves, ERA and strikeouts.
Twaddle currently sports a 3.93 cumulative GPA and is majoring in economics. The 2015 OVC Player of the Year leads the league in batting average with a MSU single-season program best of .444. She also leads the team with 53 RBIs and an incredible on-base percentage of .503.
All three players are now eligible to be named to one of three Capital One Academic All-American teams on May 29. Becker became the first and, to-date, only Academic All-American in program history when she was named to the third team in 2013.
