Freshman Copiah-Lincoln softball player Abby Grace Richardson has been named Third-Team NJCAA All-American after recently helping push the Wolves to the first national championship in school history.

A graduate of Brookhaven Academy, Richardson was one of 39 players tabbed for All-American honors on Tuesday and adds that accomplishment to a large list of awards from this season.

She was named First Team All-MACCC, All-Region 23 and was picked as the MVP of the NJCAA Division II National Tournament along with also being named Most Outstanding Offensive Player of the Tournament.

Richardson forever wrote her name in the Co-Lin history books with a grand slam home run during a 7-0 win over Jones College that clinched the national title for CLCC.

During the 2023 season, the former Daily Leader All-Area MVP hit a school record 24 home runs and drove in a single season record 80 RBIs. Richardson also had the most doubles (18) and runs scored (61) on the team for coach Meleah Howard.
