Lexi Kilfoyl Named Big 12 Pitcher of the Year, Five Cowgirls Earn All-Big 12 Honors

The Cowgirls were well represented in the All-Big 12 Softball awards.

Lexi Kilfoyl was unanimously named the league’s pitcher of the year and made the All-Big 12 First Team on Wednesday. Karli Godwin and Caroline Wang joined Kilfoyl on the First Team while Ivy Rosenberry made the All-Big 12 Second Team. Godwin and Rosie Davis were on the All-Big 12 Freshman Team. This round of awards was voted on by the league’s coaches.

Kilfoyl becomes the third Cowgirl in the past four seasons to earn Pitcher of the Year honors — joining Kelly Maxwell (2022) and current OSU pitching coach Carrie Eberle (2021). In 139 1/3 innings this season, Kilfoyl has a league-leading 1.11 ERA and a 21-3 record.

Godwin earned a spot on the All-Big 12 First Team as a freshman. She is fifth in the conference with 13 home runs. Hitting .348 in her freshman season, Godwin has 46 RBIs, which ranks second among Cowgirls.

In her first season with the program, Wang has hit a team-high 17 home runs, which ranks third in the Big 12. Among qualifying Cowgirls, the Liberty transfer leads OSU in batting average (.373), OPS (1.153), hits (60), home runs (17) and RBIs (47). Wang was a unanimous selection.

Rosenberry is the story of the season for the Cowgirls. Playing through a fractured rib here at the end of the season, Rosenberry has a 1.68 ERA — which is good for fifth in the Big 12. Among players with at least 100 innings pitched, Rosenberry’s ERA ranks second in the league behind only Kilfoyl’s. And all of this came after Rosenberry threw just 37 innings in 2023.

Davis makes the All-Freshman Team after hitting .329 in the regular season. She has 30 runs scored and 28 RBIs.
