LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Following a dominant freshman season at the plate, Kierra Lubovich secured her first NFCA All-America honor as she was named to the second team, officials announced Wednesday afternoon.

55 student-athletes from 41 different institutions were elected to one of three National Fastpitch Coaches Association Division II All-America teams.

Lubovich becomes the 43rd Viking to garner NFCA All-America honors and comes on the heels of Augustana's NSIC Tournament Championship and berth into the NCAA Tournament. 

The Sioux Falls, S.D. native was also named an NFCA Freshman of the Year Finalist. She is the fourth Viking in program history to be named a finalist. 

The freshman slugger led the Vikings with a .436 batting average and a 1.287 OPS. In 181 at-bats, Lubovich totaled 79 hits, 18 doubles, 12 home runs and 63 RBI while scoring 51 runs in 59 starts.
