Jenkins and Grace Lorsung earned All-Big Ten First Team honors and Goodin and Grayson Radcliffe earned Second Team honors. Four Hoosiers (Jenkins, Goodin, Radcliffe and Bella Norton) earned NFCA All-Region honors. In the classroom the team had a 3.69 GPA, 12 Academic All-Big Ten selections and Jenkins and Radcliffe earned CoSIDA First Team All-District honors.
What's Ahead
Indiana softball will play a challenging non-conference schedule, highlighted by playing the defending national champion Oklahoma Sooners and runner-up Florida State Seminoles. The Hoosiers will make a return trip to the Sunshine State to play in an event hosted by Florida State Feb. 25-27. The Hoosiers will play at home at Andy Mohr Field for the first time in 2022 when they host Valparaiso and Western Illinois March 5-6. The following weekend the Hoosiers travel to Louisville and play the host Cardinals, Ohio and Eastern Kentucky. The final non-conference trip will see the Hoosiers travel to Oklahoma City, Okla., for the Hall of Fame Classic. In addition to playing No. 1 Oklahoma, the Hoosiers will face Houston, Sam Houston State, Iowa and San Diego.
Roster Breakdown
The Hoosiers graduated seven seniors from Team 48 and have added seven newcomers to the roster for this season. The 2022 roster features 20 student-athletes with 10 upperclassmen. Grayson Radcliffe returns for her final season. The 2021 All-Big Ten Second Team performer hit .315 with 39 hits, 25 RBI and 16 stolen bases last season. The Hoosiers also return First Team All-Big Ten and All Freshmen Team standout Grace Lorsung. Lorsung tallied 29 hits and 20 RBI in 2021.
Fresh Faces in Bloomington
The Hoosiers signed four freshmen and added three transfers. Making their collegiate debuts will be Heather Johnson, Kinsey Mitchell, Brianna Copeland, Taylor Minnick and transfer Sarah Stone. Indiana added All-Big Ten student-athlete Cora Bassett from Purdue and Lindsey Warick from Missouri.
Jenkins Transitions into Coaching Role
The Hoosiers all-time leader in career stolen bases Gabbi Jenkins is out of eligibility, but will still be impacting the Hoosiers this season. Jenkins has stepped into a role as volunteer assistant coach and will continue to mentor the Hoosier student-athletes. In her final playing season, Jenkins earned All-Big Ten First Team honors as she hit .331 with 24 stolen bases and set an Indiana record for single season doubles with 18.
