Cortland graduate student outfielder Kelly O'Gorman (Clifton Park/Shenendehowa) and senior first baseman Lexi Szesnat (Colonie) have been chosen as 2021 National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division III Softball All-Americans. O'Gorman was named to the national second team and Szesnat was selected to the third team.
 
O'Gorman batted .423 with 11 doubles, five triples, seven homers, 37 RBI, 44 runs scored and five steals in 30 starts this spring. She led the Red Dragons in homers, RBI, triples and runs. O'Gorman registered 17 multiple-hit games, including 4-for-4 performances in Game 3 of the SUNYAC semifinals series versus Buffalo State and in a regular-season home win over New Paltz.
 
Szesnat led Cortland with a .465 batting average and 14 doubles and was second on the team with 30 RBI in 30 starts. She also scored 17 runs, hit one homer, and stole two bases. Szesnat had three hits in a game six times and posted two hits in 10 other games.
 
Cortland has now had 20 different players earn at least one softball All-America award. The most recent Red Dragon honorees were Lucia Meola, who was a third-team selection three straight years from 2011-13, and Meaghan Kohler and Abby Martin, who were both first-team honorees in 2012.
 
Cortland finished the season with a 20-10 overall record and won the SUNYAC Eastern division with an 11-3 mark. The Red Dragons advanced to the SUNYAC finals – an accomplishment the program has achieved every season since 1998 – before losing in the third game of the best-of-three series against Geneseo.
