Fifield, Lopez, Trierweiler, Hudson earn all-region honors

Grand Canyon graduate first baseman Ashley Trierweiler and graduate designated player Ramsay Lopez were named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association's All-West Region second team while graduate utility player Kristin Fifield and senior pitcher Hailey Hudson were named to the West Region's third team. Fifield and Trierweiler collected their second consecutive all-region honors.

This group, who helped lead the Lopes to the WAC championship and an NCAA regional appearance this week, are now eligible for NFCA Division I All-America squads.

"I'm super proud of these young ladies," Lopes head coach Shanon Hays said. "Having four on the team says something about the strength of our program as a whole. These seniors have been great leaders, and I wish I could have them longer."

Ashley Trierweiler | All-West Region 2nd team

Trierweiler, a two-time all-region star, also claimed her first WAC postseason honors in five all-conference seasons, including being West Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year during a four-year career at Santa Clara before transferring this season. She was GCU softball's first WAC Player of the Year since joining the conference in 2014.

On pace for another All-America season, Trierweiler leads the nation in hits (90) and ranks fourth in batting average (.459).

She also ranks first among active Division I players for batting average (.446) and third for career hits (292).

Lopez achieves her first all-region honor after earning her fourth All-WAC first-team recognition in five years, spending the past two seasons with GCU after transferring from New Mexico State.

The Albuquerque, New Mexico, native ranks second in sacrifice flies (nine) in the nation this season and 19th in RBIs (59). With 69 career home runs, Lopez is tied for fourth among active Division I players and also is No. 8 for career walks (148).

Lopez is also boasting a .346 season batting average with a .680 slugging percentage.

Hailey Hudson | All-West Region 3rd team

Hudson receives her first NFCA all-region honor after earning her first WAC postseason awards in her second year at GCU, after being a junior college conference pitcher of the year and all-region honoree at McClennan Community College in Texas in 2022.

She is also GCU's first WAC Pitcher of the Year since Taylor Nowlin won the award in 2016.

Hudson leads the Lopes in innings pitched (130 1/3) with 34 appearances and 21 starts this season. The College Statation, Texas, native sits at a 2.47 ERA with five complete games, three shutouts and 109 strikeouts.

Kristin Fifield | All-West Region 3rd team

This season, The Lopes' all-time career and single-season home run record holder and GCU Division I-era career RBI record holder is hitting .355 with 13 home runs, 13 doubles, 58 RBIs and a slugging percentage of .683.

Fifield, the 2023 WAC Joe Kearney Award winner as the conference's top female student-athlete, has claimed five WAC postseason awards in her five-year GCU career, and picks up her second straight all-region honor.

She ranks third nationally among active Division I players with 243 career RBIs and 21st nationally for RBIs this season.
