ROCHESTER — The Empire 8 Conference recently released its Empire 8 All-Conference awards, naming five Alfred University softball players among the best in the conference.

After earning its 11th postseason berth in 12 years, the Saxons celebrated the accomplishment of placing five members on the Empire 8 All-Conference team. Junior Jillian Murray (Eden/Eden) was AU’s lone representative on the First Team while junior Jessica Wilcox (Forestville/Pine Valley), first-year Tati Mejia (North Hills, Calif./John F. Kennedy) and first-year Alyssa Guitron (San Bernardino, Calif./Cajon) were named to the Second Team. First-year Ashley Lugo (Hesperia, Calif./Oak Hill) was an Empire 8 All-Conference Honorable Mention. It is the second consecutive year five AU softball players were recognized by the Empire 8.

Wilcox made her second appearance on the Empire 8 All-Conference team after being named to the First Team in 2018. Wilcox led Alfred in almost every statistical pitching category while ranking second in the Empire 8 in strikeouts (128), wins (15), opponents’ batting average (.238), batters struck out looking (40) and innings pitched (141.2). She also finished the year with a 2.03 ERA — ranking fourth in the Empire 8.

Wilcox has already solidified herself as one of the best pitchers in AU history after setting the school record for strikeouts in a game (14) twice and setting the program record for strikeouts in a season (150) in 2018. She also broke the AU single-season record for shutouts (8) in 2019.

With one more year under her belt, Wilcox has the opportunity to continue to shatter AU pitching records as she currently sits second in school history in career strikeouts (314) and career shutouts (10). She is also currently fifth in single-season wins at AU with 15 wins in 2019.
