Kansas University senior softball pitcher Kassie Humphreys was named the Jayhawks’ most valuable player at Sunday’s awards banquet at Allen Fieldhouse.
Humphreys, a Glendale, Ariz. native, was named to the Big 12 all-tournament team, and second team all league by the coaches.
Other awards handed out at the postseason banquet: Most improved player – sophomore Dougie McCaulley; offensive player of year – freshman Amanda Jobe; defensive player of the year – Val Chapple.
Humphreys had been named to the all-tournament team Saturday night in Oklahoma City. She led the Jayhawks to their 2-1 extra-inning victory over Iowa State and held eventual tournament champion Oklahoma to its lowest number of runs in the tournament.
