University of Memphis senior pitcher Jenna Kubesch was selected to the CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District IV First Team on Thursday. It is the second year in a row the Weimar, Texas, native has earned the first team honor.
Kubesch graduated in May 2006 with a 3.94 GPA in communications and just completed her second semester in her master's program. She carries a 3.67 GPA in her graduate sport and leisure concentration and was a 2006 CoSIDA Academic District IV First Team selection. Kubesch also is the school's nominee for NCAA Woman of the Year Award.
The Weimar, Texas, native ranks in the top 10 in nearly every pitching category and is the first Memphis pitcher to record more than 20 wins and 200 strikeouts in a season. Kubesch finished the regular season with a 23-10 record with a 2.24 ERA and 225 strikeouts. The senior is the reigning C-USA Pitcher of the Week and earned the honor three times during the season. Kubesch closed out the final two weeks 6-1 with a 0.68 ERA and 61 strikeouts in 51.1 innings of work to help Memphis capture its improbable entry into the C-USA Championship.
All of the division first team winners are all on the ballot for the CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America teams to be voted on later this month.
