In that announcement, Arkansas Tech had three players named All-GAC with Alexis Findley garnering Second Team honors, while Maycie Hardy and Sadie Turner received Honorable Mention acclaim.
 
ALEXIS FINDLEY
Findley is now a two-time all-conference pitcher for the Golden Suns, earning the honor each of her seasons in the circle at Tech. Last year, Findley was named to Honorable Mention team, but this season, she was lauded as a Second Team All-GAC pitcher.
 
In her senior season, Findley ranks in the top-10 in the GAC in seven major pitching categories including: ERA, opponent batting average, innings pitched, strikeouts, wins, appearances and games started.
 
She is currently 12-12 with a 2.77 ERA. In 31 total appearances and 27 starts, Findley has gone the distance 16 times and has notched five shutouts. She has 155 strikeouts in 154.0 innings of work. Her strikeouts are fifth-most in a season at Tech while her shutouts are tied for seventh-most.
 
MAYCIE HARDY
In her second year at Tech, Hardy remained one of the more consistent hitters in the Golden Suns lineup. She is currently second on the team in batting average at .304 (51-for-168) and leads the team in runs scored with 31.
 
Playing and starting in all but one game thus far, Hardy has also been a reliable fixture at the hot corner on defense. In 188 chances, Hardy has registered 119 assists, which currently ranks her second in the GAC.
 
SADIE TURNER
In her lone season with the Golden Suns, Turner has become one of the least-desired to be pitched to in the GAC. In a league-leading 204 plate appearances, Turner has been either walked or hit-by-pitch in 53 of those appearances.
 
She is leading the GAC in both of those categories and currently has 38 walks and 15 HBPs.
 
Currently, Turner is hitting .291 (43-for-148) with 24 runs scored, six doubles, a team-leading seven home runs and 18 RBIs.
