RUSTON – Louisiana Tech junior outfielder Alexis Gilio was named NFCA Second-Team All-Mideast Region, the National Fastpitch Coaches Association announced on Thursday afternoon.
 
Gilio had an outstanding season at the plate while excelling defensively in center field. She led the Bulldogs with a .383 batting average, 64 hits, five doubles, 22 RBI, 30 runs scored, 19 walks and 14 stolen bases. She registered a team-best 21 multi-hit games and collected three multi-RBI games. Her 64 hits also tied for the Conference USA lead. Her four sacrifice flies led the Bulldogs and tied for the CUSA lead. Defensively, Gilio posted a .969 fielding percentage with 92 putouts and two assists while robbing a pair of home runs this season against Jacksonville State (Feb. 14) and Ole Miss (Feb. 16).
 
With the selection, Gilio became the fifth Bulldog in program history to earn NFCA Second-Team All-Mideast Region honors while marking the 19th time LA Tech has had a representative on the teams since its placement in the Mideast Region in 2015.
 
The Lafayette, Colo., native had one of the top offensive seasons in program history, as her .383 batting average was the sixth-best by a Bulldog in a single season. Gilio also finished in the LA Tech single-season top-10 in hits (64, T-10th) and sacrifice flies (4, T-5th).
