TAMPA Ken Eriksen, who guided the University of South Florida to the first Big East regular-season title in any sport in school history, was named Big East Softball Coach of the Year and freshman pitcher Capri Catalano was named the league's rookie of the year.
USF senior outfielder Kit Dunbar and junior second baseman Britta Giddens also earned All-Big East first-team honors. Catalano, sophomore 1B JoJo Medina, of Chamberlain, and Courtney Mosch, a senior utility player, earned second-team honors.
"It was a nice team recognition," Eriksen said. "What a year. I am so proud of this team considering what we have been through."
No.1 seeded USF (42-17, 16-4) opens Big East Tournament play today against No. 8 seed Providence at 4 p.m. in Louisville, Ky.
