No. 1/1 University of Florida was named Team of the Year by Easton Sports, Inc. Five Gators also earned Easton first-team All-American honors, the most from a single school.
Sophomores Stephanie Brombacher (Pembroke Pines, Fla.), Kelsey Bruder (Corona, Calif.) and Aja Paculba (Wildomar, Calif.) along with junior Francesca Enea (Woodland Hills, Calif.) and senior Stacey Nelson (Los Alamitos, Calif.) were all part of the first-team roster.
The 2009 Gators set 39 school records and made the program’s first-ever appearance in the Women’s College World Series Championship Series. Their .323 batting average was tops in Florida record books and seventh in Southeastern Conference history. Their .543 slugging percentage and .423 on-base percentage ranked third all-time in the SEC while their 86 home runs broke the conference record. The 63-5 record is the second-best in Florida history, only to the 2008’s NCAA-record breaking 70-5 season.
