SAN FRANCISCO – The Utah softball program placed a record 10 student-athletes on the Pac-12 All-Academic teams this afternoon, pacing the conference.
 
Ally Dickman earned First Team honors for a second-straight season joining Taylor (Austin) Jordan, Hannah Flippen and Katie Donovan as the only Utes to ever accomplish the feat. She also became the seventh Ute to receive academic accolades from the conference three times.
 
Dickman was named to the Google Cloud Academic All-District 8 Team last week and also earned All-Pac-12 honors for her play in the outfield. She was joined on the Pac-12 All-Academic First team by Katie Faulk and eight other Utes received honorable mention recognition.
 
Two-time NFCA All-Region honoree and All-Pac-12 performer Alyssa Barrera received her second academic award, along with Hailey Hilburn, another two-time NFCA All-Region selection. Julia Noskin, another Ute recognized as an All-Pac-12 player, notched her first academic honor along with Ryley Ball, BreOnna Castaneda, Chantelle Ladner, Alyssa Palacios and Abby Robertson

Utah has had 29 student-athletes earn 45 Pac-12 All-Academic honors since joining the conference in 2012.

To be eligible for selection to the academic team, a student-athlete must have a minimum 3.0 overall grade-point average and compete in at least 50 percent of the team's events.
