CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Charlotte softball continues to garner postseason recognition, as the duo of Haley Pace and Lexi Betancourt were announced as CoSIDA Academic Third Team All-Americans Thursday afternoon. They are the only two representatives from Conference USA.
The pair becomes just the second and third members of the program to earn the title, after first baseman Tiffany Howard in 1998 and were also both members of the elite 12-member C-USA All-Academic Team this season.
They are numbers 42 and 43 to claim the Academic All-American title amongst all Charlotte Athletics, and it is the sixth time in school history that two members of the same team have earned the distinction.
