D2CCA All-America Teams

ROLLA, Mo. - Colorado School of Mines shortstop Clara Larson picked up a pair of all-America honors on May 23, earning spots on the NFCA First Team and the D2CCA Second Team.

Larson becomes only the fourth player in program history to earn all-America accolades and the first since Kelly Unkrich in 2013. She also joins Unkrich as the only other First-Team selection in program history as the NFCA tabbed her the nation's top shortstop. Larson was previously named a D2CCA First-Team All-Region, NFCA First-Team All-South Central, and Google Cloud CoSIDA Academic All-District selection this season.

Larson produced a record-setting season as a sophomore for the Orediggers, hitting .425 and slugging .839 with 15 home runs, 64 RBI, and 21 doubles. Her 64 RBI set the program single-season record, and she tied the single-season home run mark as she became only the second Oredigger and first since 1994 to slug over .800 in a season. Larson walked 23 times and stole 11 bases as she used her .493 on-base percentage to convert 59 runs. Larson completed the fifth-longest hitting streak in program history this season at 16 games, and notched 20 multi-hit and 19 multi-RBI games in 2018.

Also a First-Team All-RMAC selection, Larson was the RMAC Player of the Week on April 10 and was an RMAC Academic Honor Roll member. She was named the team's Offensive Player of the Year and Most Valuable Player.
