LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) released its 2026 Division III All-America awards Wednesday and both Olivia Sanborn and Emily Doyle were selected Third Team All-Americans. Sanborn and Doyle are Bethany's first All-Americans in program history. 

Sanborn adds another accolade to her decorated rookie campaign after earning UMAC Player and Rookie of the Year honors, as well as a top-10 finalist for the NFCA Division III Freshman of the Year. This season Sanborn led the UMAC with 44 stolen bases - 21 more than the next player - and tied the program's single season stolen base record with Sydney Jacobs (2024). Sanborn was second in the league with a .467 batting average, 57 hits, 49 runs, and four triples, and third with a .537 on base percentage. Her .537 on base percentage ranks second in program history for a single season while her .467 batting average ranks third.
