Add another accolade to Marshall softball player Morgan Zerkle’s list. The Milton native was selected Wednesday to the preseason top 50 watch list for the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year.
It was her second consecutive watch-list appearance. Zerkle ended up as a top 25 finalist last season.
This season the top 50 players come from 37 different universities and 13 conferences. The SEC led the way with 12 schools and the PAC-12 featured nine programs. Zerkle was joined by Florida Atlantic senior pitcher Kylee Hanson and FIU senior infielder Stephanie Texiera for a trio from Conference USA.
