Corrick is USF softball’s third first team All-American and the program’s first since 1992
TAMPA, June 1, 2022 – University of South Florida softball pitcher Georgina Corrick (Sanford, Fla.) is an All-American once again. The National Fastpitch Coaches Association announced Corrick as a first team All-American, her first honor to the top team and third selection overall. Alexis Johns (Sarasota, Fla.) was also recognized as the winner of the New Balance/NFCA Golden Shoe Award, which recognizes the top speedsters in the nation.
“From me personally…wow,” head coach Ken Eriksen said. “These two young women were incredible to watch all year. You would never know that they were some of the best players in the nation because of the way they carried themselves on and off the field. Their humility and graciousness are understated. What our fans saw all year is now being recognized nationally. Thank you, Georgina and Alexis!”
Corrick is the program’s second three-time All-American and the first to earn a spot on the top team since Dawn Melfi in 1992. Corrick was previously selected as an All-American as a second-team member in 2019 and a third-team member in 2021. There were no honors given in 2020 due to COVID-19. The Sanford, Fla., native is USF’s 16th student-athlete to earn All-America honors in at least three years of competition and softball’s second, joining Sara Nevins who recorded three recognitions from 2012-2014.
Johns is the program’s first to win the Golden Shoe Award, which has been awarded annually since 2014. Entering the Women’s College World Series, Johns leads the country in stolen bases with 59, with the next closest player eight swipes behind her, and stolen bases per game (0.98). She broke the program record in both categories as well, passing AnaMarie Bruni’s totals of 38 steals and 0.76 steals per game in 2021.
Corrick finished the year with a 37-5 record, posting the most wins by a USF pitcher since Leigh Ann Ellis tallied the program record of 43 in 2004. She allowed just 20 earned runs in 274.1 innings, recording a 0.51 ERA, second only to Debbie Morash’s 0.39 ERA in 1986 in USF’s record books. The Great Britain National Team member threw 418 strikeouts and won more games in 2022 than she lost in her entire career.
At one point in the season, Corrick’s ERA was as low as 0.06 after over 100 innings, including the NCAA’s seventh-longest streak of consecutive scoreless innings at 88.1. Entering the WCWS, Corrick leads the nation in innings pitched, shutouts (21), strikeout-to-walk ratio (12.29), strikeouts (418) and victories.
Corrick threw two perfect games during the campaign: one against Florida A&M and one against Houston, also adding a no-hitter against ECU. Additionally, Corrick broke USF’s single-game strikeout record, fanning 19 batters in an 11 inning game against FGCU.
The right-hander earned her fourth AAC Pitcher of the Year honor after the regular season, the only pitcher in AAC history to win the award in every year of their career.
