Mariah Jameyson of Texas A&M University-Commerce headlines the 2018 Google Cloud Academic All-America® Division II Softball Teams, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
The Division II Google Cloud Academic All-America® program is partially financially supported by the NCAA Division II national governance structures, to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2017-18 Division II Academic All-America® teams.
Jameyson has been selected as the recipient of the Google Cloud Academic All-America® of the Year award for Division II softball. A kinesiology and sport studies major with a 3.77 GPA, she departs Texas A&M-Commerce as the most decorated player in school history while playing just two years after transferring from Odessa College.
As a senior, Jameyson was named the NFCA/Diamond Sports Catcher of the Year, was the D2CCA National Player of the Year, along with being named an NFCA First Team All-American and D2CCA First Team All-American. She was the D2CCA South Central Region Player of the Year and Lone Star Conference Player of the Year. As a junior, she was accorded NFCA Second Team All-American, D2CCA Second Team All-American, and FPN Second Team All-American honors. She was the first All-American in program history.
Jameyson posted staggering numbers in 2018 while leading the Lions to the greatest season in school history. Texas A&M-Commerce finished with a 42-12 record, winning the South Central Region I Championship and advancing to the South Central Super Regional Championship for the first time in school history.
Jameyson ranks among the Division II leaders in numerous categories. She hit .510, which ranks third in Division II, with 13 doubles and 23 home runs. She ranks fifth in the country in home runs and home runs per game, and her 89 RBI is good for second nationally. She has a 1.046 slugging percentage, which ranks second in Division II. Jameyson walked 47 times, ranking fourth in the country, while striking out just 13 times. In 54 games, she had 22 games with two-or-more hits and 20 games with two-or-more RBI, including two games with eight RBI.
Twenty-two of the 33 members of the 2018 Google Cloud Academic All-America® Division II Softball teams have at least a 3.90 G.P.A., with 12 student-athletes maintaining a perfect 4.00 GPA. The 11 members of the first team have an average GPA of 3.93.
