Campbell Receives NFCA All-America Honors (May 19, 2005)

BILLINGS, MT – The National Fastpitch Coaches Association announced its 2005 softball All-America Teams on Wednesday.  Montana State-Billings senior Theresa Campbell was named to the All-America Third Team.

Campbell was the only player from the Pacific West Conference selected to any of the three All-America teams.  She batted .374 with 42 runs batted in and 30 runs scored this year.  Her school record 15 home runs also tied the PacWest single season record.  She led the conference with a .772 slugging percentage.

Campbell is the first softball player from MSU Billings to receive All-America recognition.  A first team all-conference and first team all-region selection this year, Campbell helped lead the Yellowjackets to their first ever NCAA Tournament appearance.  MSU Billings lost out in the NCAA West Regional semifinals to eventual regional champion San Francisco State.  SFSU’s Sonja Garnett, the pitcher who shut out the Jackets in their semifinal loss, was selected to the All-America First Team.
