SAVANNAH AHRENS SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD

For the last few years, the NCSA selects one individual who has distinguished themselves through demonstrated acts of sportsmanship and ethical behavior as the Sportsmanship Award Winner.  This year, the NCSA will do the same but we are happy to announce that the award will now be called, “The Savannah Ahrens Award.”

Savannah dedicated well over a decade to the NCSA, first as a player then most recently as the Vice-President of Operations.  In January of 2022, Savanah made the difficult but honorable decision to retire from the NCSA to spend more time with her young family.  That being said, without Savannah’s dedication, commitment and enthusiasm, the NCSA would not be where it is today.  That is why we are honored to name this distinguished award after her.

In order to nominate a player for the Savannah Ahrens Award, please email a testimonial (500 words maximum) to Christian Smith at [email protected] by the extended deadline of Monday, July 13th.  Information to include in the testimonial is detailed in the nomination form.

RAWLINGS FINAL NCSA TOP 20

Where they started is where they finished.  The 2022 NCSA World Series National Champions, the Virginia Tech Hokies began atop the preseason rankings and remained there for most of the season until Sacred Heart dethroned them for two straight months.  But after claiming the 2023 NCSA World Series, the Hokies are back where they began…the #1 Team in the NCSA sitting atop the RAWLINGS FINAL NCSA TOP 20!  They will hold that title until the 23-24 season begins.  Who is going to be the next #1 team in the county.  Stay tuned.  The 23-24 season will be here before you know it!

Thank you all for a great season!
