LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech senior pitcher Amanda Renfro added to her list of postseason awards this week, earning NFCA Second Team All-America honors on Tuesday, only the second Red Raider to earn All-America honors and the first since 1998.
The Houston, Texas, native finished the year 34-18 overall with a 1.08 earned-run-average, including 421 strikeouts in 351.1 innings pitched. Opponents batted just .194 against her in 2001, with 39 complete games and 16 shutouts in 58 appearances, as Tech wrapped up a 37-24 campaign under first-year head coach Bobby Reeves.
Renfro was named First Team All-Big 12 and First Team All-Midwest Region earlier this month, and also earned a place on the Big 12 All-Tournament squad at the Big 12 tourney in Oklahoma City, Okla.
Renfro also learned this week she was named to the all-tournament squad from this past weekend's NCAA regional in Tucson, Ariz. She posted a 2-1 record with 26 strikeouts in 23 innings of work in the NCAA tournament, as the Red Raiders went 2-2 before in their second postseason appearance in three years.
