Ohio Northern senior Gabby Stewart (Union, Ky./St. Henry) was named First Team Academic All-America in softball in voting conducted by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
Stewart, a catcher majoring in nursing, was hitting .393 with three home runs and nine RBI though 10 games this season before the campaign was stopped on March 12 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
