BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Campbellsville's Victoria Decker and Jacqueline Roof were voted as the Mid-South Conference Pitcher and Player of the Year, officials announced at the annual awards banquet tonight at Bowling Green Country Club.

Both Decker and Roof have put in the hard work and are now two of the best in the country at their craft. Last season, Decker earned the same honor - MSC Pitcher of the Year - while Roof was named the Freshman of the Year. The duo joins head coach Shannon Wathen and Brianna Scott as award winners tonight. Wathen picked up her seventh MSC Coach of the Year honor and Scott was named the softball Champions of Character (see separate stories).

Decker, a senior from Leitchfield, Ky., has a record of 24-4 which ranks her No. 1 in the conference and No. 5 in the NAIA. Her sub-one ERA of 0.92 is also tops in the Mid-South and No. 5 in the country.

Overall on the season, Decker ranks No. 9 in innings pitched (183.1) and opponents batting average (0.164). Her senior season saw multiple highlights but two came in one week. Decker tossed her first collegiate perfect game against Brescia on March 15 and then backed that up with a no-hitter against St. Catharine on March 22.

Also, she was the first Lady Tiger in history to eclipse the 500 strikeout mark for a career – which currently sits at 508.

Decker sits a top the program's career-record books in innings pitched (682), games started (106), opponents batting average, strikeouts (508) and wins (81). In a single-season, Decker is four wins away from breaking a 10-year old record set by Kelly Vooris in 2006 and her 0.92 ERA ranks her No. 3 behind Vooris' mark of 0.86 in 2006 and Angie Vaughn's 0.88 ERA in 2002.

Roof, a sophomore from Paducah, Ky., has put an exclamation point on her first two seasons at Campbellsville. After a freshman campaign of hitting .345, nine home runs and driving in 34 runs, Roof has backed that up by hitting .444 with 15 home runs and 43 RBI in the regular season. And she did that by missing the first eight games of the season with a shoulder injury.

Her 15 home runs from the leadoff position are tied for tops on the team with Bri Scott and also her 43 RBI rank No. 2 behind Scott. She is also a doubles machine – ranking her second behind Scott with 13. Her slugging percentage is through the "Roof" at .889.

Not only can she swing the bat, Roof also has one of the best gloves up the middle. Defensively, Roof has committed only 12 errors on 203 chances for a fielding percentage of .941.

After two seasons, Roof ranks No. 1 in Lady Tiger program history with a career batting average of .394 and slugging percentage of .726. She is seven doubles away from breaking the single-season record (20) and has smashed the single-season record with an on-base-percentage of .559.

The Lady Tigers also had nine student-athletes either earn First-Team or Second-Team All-MSC honors. In addition to Decker and Roof, Brianna Scott, Hailey Szpila, Shelby Ray and Neely Quint were named to the first team.

Scott is hitting .340 and leads the Lady Tigers with 56 RBI and is tied for first in home runs with Roof. Szpila started in 48 games at first base and hit .310 with five home runs and 37 RBI. Ray had a breakout senior year by hitting .307 and leading the team with 22 sac bunts. Lastly, Quint was one of the best pitchers in the Mid-South. She carries in an 18-3 record with a 2.30 ERA. In 136.2 innings, Quint has struck out 64 battes and opponents are hitting .256.

On the second team, CU had another trio - Rebecca Miller, Markie Smith and Madison Mudd. 

Miller hit .396 on the season in 34 games but missed 16 contests due to a shoulder injury that plagued her throughout the middle of the year. Smith earned second-team honors after hitting .272 with six home runs and driving in 25 runs. To round out the Lady Tigers honors on the night was Mudd. A freshman from Louisville, Ky., started in 48 games for CU and took over centerfield. Mudd hit .302 with three home runs and 21 RBI.
