LOUISVILLE, Kentucky - The Concordia Texas softball team landed a pair of standout performers on the National Fast Pitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-Region Team. Kylie Kirk (Second Team) & Kylie Denaro (Third Team) were named to the All-Region Teams, the committee announced on Friday.

Kirk is the first two-time All-Region selection in program history (2025 First Team All-Region), and this marks the first time since 2018 that the Tornados posted two members on the All-Region Team (Brittani Whitten & Jordan Russell).
