WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - For the first time since 2022, Purdue lands a name on the NFCA All-America team, with Moriah Polar being tabbed a Third Team honoree.
Polar is just the third-ever player in program history to earn the prestigious honor, with the first dating back to Andrea Hillsey in 2003 (First Team), and the most recent being Rachel Becker (Third Team At-Large).
Polar has already earned various honors in the postseason, being named NFCA First-Team All Region, All-Big Ten First Team, All-Big Ten Defensive team, and has earned a pair of Second Team All-America honors from D1 Softball and Softball America.
Polar’s incredible season earned her a spot on the USA Softball Top 25 Player of the Year list as she broke four individual Purdue records (single-season hits, single-season runs scored, single-season BA, single-season OB%), tied the Purdue career-triples record, and wrote herself into the Big Ten record book and NCAA record book, tying for second in single-season hits and taking the seven spot for single-season batting average, respectively.
Through the postseason, Polar is still the current national leader in hits (101) and in batting average (.555).
