Kaydee Bennett named first team All-Southland Conference

FRISCO – Texas A&M University-Commerce softball team freshman phenom Kaydee Bennett has been named a first team all-Southland Conference shortstop on Monday afternoon, becoming the first all-conference player in the program's Division I era.
 
Bennett (Caddo Mills) batted .320 on the season with 20 runs scored, six RBIs, and 18 stolen bases on the season. During conference play, she batted .328 and was a perfect 10 for 10 in stolen base attempts, while holding a on base percentage of .416, which is 16th in the conference.
 
In the first 14 conference games, Bennett recorded at least one hit for the program's longest hitting streak since 2019. Her 14-game hitting streak is believed to be the second-best among all freshmen in NCAA Division I this season. She also had 15-game on base streak this season.
 
The Lions in their first Division I season, playing the toughest schedule in the Southland, went 9-39 overall and 5-19 in conference play.
