The Southwestern Athletic Conference has released its list of All-Conference players, with ASU's Meagan Dixon receiving Player and Hitter of the Year honors and Kendall Core being named First Team All-SWAC  third base.

"Meagan has worked hard day in and day out and deserves everything she has earned," Assistant Head Coach Alyssa Smoke said. "She's the type of player every coach dreams of. She works hard, encourages others to do so and readily listens and executes. She led the conference in virtually every category and will play any position you put her in."
