COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. – Three Bulldogs earned a spot on the 2020 Softball All-Mountain West Team. Schuylar Broussard, Hailey Dolcini and McKenzie Wilson represented No. 23 Fresno State on the roster, annouced by the conference Wednesday afternoon.
"The season was cut short however the individual performances of Broussard, Dolcini and Wilson was consistent all 25 games," head coach Linda Garza said. "Broussard had a break out year, her tenacity at the plate lead us all season. Dolcini was a rock in the circle. She dominated, and I'm proud of her mental game. She rose to every level and found ways to beat hitters. Wilson is flat out fun to watch. Her ability is limitless. She roams the outfield with grace, has a knack for getting on base and watching her steal bases is fascinating. We had so many great moments this season. These three players really impacted our success all year."
Â
Broussard earned the first All-MW award of her career after having a hot bat this season with a team-high six home runs and a slugging percentage of .737 during the 2020 campaign. The senior ranked within the Top 10 in the nation in RBIs (33), RBIs per game (1.32) and triples (4). The Moreno Valley, Calif. native started all 25 games at shortstop and recorded a .944 fielding percentage.
Â
Dolcini was dominant in the circle for Fresno State. The junior owned a 10-1 record, touting the marque victory over No. 3 Texas. She recorded a 1.51 ERA, four shutouts and 77 strikeouts in 2020. Dolcini also earned two MW Pitcher of the Week honors - the only player in the conference to earn multiple weekly awards this season - and had one of the best games of her career against UIC (Feb. 21) when she threw a no-hitter with 15 strikeouts. This is the second All-MW honor of Dolcini's career.
Â
Wilson led the Bulldogs at the plate this season. The sophomore finished No. 11 in the nation in hits (37) and ranked within the Top 30 in batting average (0.474) - leading the MW in both categories. As the team's leadoff hitter, she also topped the conference in on-base percentage (0.539). Wilson proved to be one of the best base-runners in the nation. The sophomore ranked No. 2 in the country in stolen bases per game (1.08) and No. 11 in runs per game (1.25), also setting the standard for the conference in both categories. Wilson finished the season with 27 stolen bases in 25 games and was on track to crush the Fresno State single-season stolen base record - a mark she set a year ago in 2019 with 39 stolen bases. Wilson was a solid outfielder for the Bulldogs. She started 24 games in center and made some electrifying layout catches for a perfect 1.00 fielding percentage. This is the third All-MW of Wilson's career.Â
Fresno State finished the season with a 21-4 record, ranking No. 12 in the nation in win-loss percentage (0.840) and the Bulldogs finished the season a perfect 15-0 at home. Fresno State closed out the season with its highest ranking of No. 23 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Poll and finished No. 24 in the USA Today/NFCA Division I Coaches Poll. Fresno State was the only MW team to be ranked during the season.Â
