January 26, 2022 | Softball
GREENSBORO, N.C. – The University of Louisville's Carmyn Greenwood has been named to the 2022 Softball Preseason All-Atlantic Coast Conference Team and the Cardinals were picked to finish sixth in a vote by the league's 13 head coaches.
Florida State was voted the preseason favorite to win the 2022 ACC softball title. The Seminoles, who advanced to their fourth NCAA Women's College World Series last season and played for the national championship, received eight first-place votes and tallied 137 points.
Clemson collected two first-place votes and 128 points to finish second in the voting, while Virginia Tech earned 126 points with two first-place votes to occupy third. Duke was fourth with 119 points and the remaining first-place vote, while Notre Dame rounded out the top five with 99 points.
Louisville was picked sixth with 86 points, while Georgia Tech was tabbed seventh (72). North Carolina and NC State were eighth and ninth, respectively, with 63 and 57 points. Virginia (36), Pitt (35), Syracuse (29) and Boston College (27) rounded out the poll.
Carmyn Greenwood, a graduate senior, earned 2021 NFCA All-Southeast Region first team honors after a career-best season in which she led the Cardinals with a .430 batting average, 74 hits, nine doubles and 31 runs. She also paced the team with 23 multi-hit games and is tied for eighth on Louisville's list for single season hits. The All-ACC second team selection led the conference in hits and stood second in batting average.
The outfielder from Birmingham, Alabama completed her second season at UofL last year after transferring to from Auburn prior to the 2020 COVID-19-shortened campaign.
