ST. JOSEPH – For the second straight year, Missouri Western softball second baseman Tiffany Gillaspy has been named First-Team All-Central Region by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association.

It’s the second straight nod on the team for Gillaspy and her second first team All-Region selection already this season. Earlier this week, the Johnston, Iowa native was named to the Daktronics All-Region team. Her list of honors during the 2015 season included first team All-MIAA, MIAA Hitter of the Week, NFCA National Player of the Week and top-25 finalist for the NFCA National Player of the Year. Gillaspy finished her career as the Griffons’ all-time leader in slugging percentage. She also sits second in career home runs, RBIs and runs scored. She is third all-time in batting average and fourth in hits and doubles.

This season, Gillaspy led the Griffons in batting average, slugging percentage, hits, RBIs, doubles, home runs and total bases. She is a two-time first team All-MIAA selection, making the team as a first baseman in 2014 and a second baseman in 2015. In addition to her all-conference and all-region honors, Gillaspy was also named third team Daktronics All-American in 2014. This year she was the softball team’s student-athlete of the year and one of three recipients of the Tom Smith Career Achievement Award.
