Seguin, Texas – Senior RF Mackenzie Cox (Alexandria, La.) was named to the 2024 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship All-Tournament Team after an impressive performance in a pair of games this past weekend at Ed Kruse Stadium – Morck Softball Field on the campus of Texas Lutheran University.

Cox went 5-8 in her two SCAC Tournament games with three RBI, a double, a run scored, and a stolen base. She was named First-Team All-SCAC on Friday, earning first-team all-conference honors for the fourth-straight season. Cox was named to the All-Tournament team for the second time in her stellar career after earning a spot on the team in 2022.

Cox was one of the top players this season in the conference and country as she led the SCAC in hits (61), runs (48), and triples, was second in total bases and walks, and third in batting average (.466), OBP (.541), and slugging (.618). She ranked in the top 20 in the country in hits and top 50 in batting average. She was named SCAC Hitter of the Week once during the season. Cox ranked second in the country in stolen bases (49) and was only caught four times. She posted 21 multi-hit games with a season-best 15-game hitting streak.

The Ladies fell 9-3 to the Southwestern University Pirates in their tournament opener last Friday and were eliminated on Saturday, 3-2, by the University of St. Thomas Celts.

The Ladies (13-27, 8-13 SCAC) finished fifth in the standings at the conclusion of the regular season after being picked to finish fifth in the league this season in the preseason poll to earn the No. 5 seed in the conference tournament. Cox was one of seven Ladies to earn all-conference honors this season.
