Alabama Lands Three on NFCA All-America Teams

The Women's College World Series gearing up means it is time for postseason awards in college softball. The National Fastpitch Coaches Association announced its Division I All-America teams on Wednesday afternoon, and Alabama had three players represented on the list.

Junior pitcher Jocelyn Briski was the Crimson Tide's lone player on the first team. Sophomore infielder Brooke Wells was named to the second team, and senior designated player Alexis Pupillo landed on the third team.

Briski is 23-3 this season with a 1.30 ERA and 198 strikeouts. She was named the National Pitcher of the Year by D1 Softball. She joins other Alabama pitching greats like Montana Fouts, Alexis Osorio, Jaclyn Traina and Kelsi Dunne as a first team all-American.

Wells leads Alabama in home runs and RBIs after transferring in from Houston. Her 23 home runs this season are good for third in a single season in program history.

Pupillo is batting .401 on the year with 19 home runs and 60 RBIs. She put in the work over the offseason to majorly improve in every offensive category, doubling her RBIs from a year ago and nearly tripling her home runs.

The three representative is the most for the Crimson Tide since 2021. No. 1 Alabama opens play at the WCWS against No. 8 UCLA on Thursday at 6 p.m.
