KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee pitcher Ashley Rogers and third baseman Chelsea Seggern were named to Softball America's Top 100 list, the outlet announced on Thursday.
Â
Rogers, a sophomore, was ranked 37th on the list after a standout freshman season where she led the Lady Vols in the circle with a 21-7 win-loss record and 1.94 ERA. As UT's ace, she threw 209 strikeouts, third most in the SEC and 36th best in the nation. She was named to the conference's first team and was a top-10 nominee for the Schutt's Sports/NFCA Freshman of the Year.
Â
Seggern, ranked 67th, was potent at the plate for the Lady Vols last season finishing with a .366 batting clip, which was the second most on the team in 2019. The senior raked 56 hits, including a team-high 16 double, and added six dingers and a pair of triples to the ledger.
Â
The duo was also recently named to the Preseason All-SEC Team, while Tennessee was voted to finish second in the league by conference coaches. Along with the preseason recognition, Softball America also rated the Lady Vols eight-player freshman class the sixth-best in the country.
Â
The Lady Vols begin their 2020 campaign on Feb. 8 at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz. against Northwestern. This season marks the 25th year of the UT softball program.
