Softball places pair on Academic All-America teams

“Anything you can do, I can do better.
I can do anything better than you.”

So Baylor baseball gets one Academic All-American? The Lady Bears go out and get two. Senior first baseman Alex Colyer earned first team Academic All-America honors while junior outfielder Tiffany Wesley was named to the second team. The duo are the fifth and sixth Baylor softball Academic All-Americans in program history, with all six coming during the tenure of current head coach Glenn Moore.

Colyer has compiled a 3.90 GPA as a pre-med/health sciences major while at the same time earning All-Big 12 honors this season, thanks to her .360 batting average (ninth-best in the Big 12), four home runs and 26 RBI. Wesley was also an All-Big 12 selection this spring after hitting .318 with 10 doubles and 25 stolen bases (fifth-best in the league). In the classroom, she has a nearly perfect 3.98 GPA as a pre-med/health sciences major.

The two Lady Bears were important factors in the program earning its third Super Regional appearance in five years. At 40-22, Baylor reached the 40-win plateau for the fifth time in school history, all during Moore’s nine years at the helm.

Sic ’em, Alex, Tiffany and Baylor softball!
