OCALA, FL (352today.com) — Four members of the College of Central Florida (CF) softball team have been named to the All-Citrus Conference Teams following strong performances during the 2025 season.
Leah Clark and Madison VanAllen earned First Team honors. Clark led the Patriots in nearly every offensive category, including runs (52), hits (69), home runs (10), and RBI (54). She was also perfect on the base paths, stealing 30 bases without being caught—part of a flawless 75-for-75 career mark in stolen bases over two seasons.
VanAllen led CF with a .432 batting average and collected 57 hits, second only to Clark. She drove in 41 runs and added five home runs and 10 doubles.
Amber Daugherty and Bailey Holmes were named to the Second Team. Daugherty batted .364 with 17 doubles—tying Clark for the team lead—and drove in 31 runs with three home runs.
Holmes returned from an early-season injury to finish with a team-best .465 on-base percentage and tied Clark for the team lead in stolen bases (30). She hit .368 with 53 hits, 43 runs scored, and one home run in just 43 games played.
All four players played key roles in CF’s success this season.
