University of Toledo softball coach Kristen Butler was named the Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year, while freshman Bailey Curry was tabbed as the MAC Freshman of the Year.
This season, Butler became the first Toledo coach to record a 30-win season since 1995 and the first to win 20-plus games in four-straight seasons in the last 21 years. She earned career win number 100 in her fourth season leading the Rockets.
Curry leads Toledo in batting average (.370), hits (60), home runs (13), RBIs (44), walks (27), and total bases (105). Her 13 home runs tie a single-season Toledo record.
