Lambert receives First Team All-America honors

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. - The 2023 NCAA Division II Conference Commissioners Association All-America Softball team was announced earlier this month and for the first time in school history, Lane College has a First Team All-American.

After a decorated season that saw her earn SIAC Player of the Year and Utility Player of the Year, the Division II council named Millay Lambert an All-American.

It is only the second time in school history Lane has had a softball player make the All-America team. Hall of Famer Jasmine McNeil was named to the Second Team following the 2015 campaign.

Lambert was the only player to appear and start in all 50 games this season for Lane. Throughout the season, she played catcher and all three positions in the outfield. The Florence, AL native finished the season with a league high 65 hits and 57 runs. She collected 109 total bases, drove in 56 RBI, and hit eight home runs, all good for second best in the SIAC, while carrying a .406 batting average. The senior added 14 doubles, three triples, and eight stolen bases.

The Florence, Ala. native was also named Lane College Athlete of the Year and Jackson-Madison County Hall of Fame Female Athlete of the Year.

The D2CCA All-America and All-Region softball teams, which are selected by College Sports Communications (CSC) members from schools playing Division II softball, were first established in 2007. This year represents the eighth year in which the Division II Conference Commissioners Association solely sponsored the program.

The Division II Conference Commissioners Association encourages and promotes Division II athletics and high standards of sportsmanship as important elements of higher education. The CCA is a key communications link among the conferences as they discuss views, policies and regulations that impact Division II intercollegiate athletics and works closely with the NCAA as a communications channel to NCAA Division II member colleges and universities.
