AUSTIN, Texas – Piedmont softball's REBEKAH STEGMAYER was named a CoSIDA Academic All-American, the organization announced Tuesday afternoon. Stegmayer was named to the Second Team list for Division III.
 
The senior outfielder becomes the third CoSIDA Academic All-American in program history, joining former Lions Abby Smith (2015) and Brittany Head (2014) on that list.
 
Stegmayer produced a career-defining season in 2022 to close out her Piedmont career. The Lawrenceville native led the Lady Lions in a plethora of offensive categories en route to being named the Player of the Year in the USA South Athletic Conference.
 
The centerfielder and leadoff hitter showcased her baserunning prowess on multiple occasions this season, stealing a program-record 39 bags in 41 attempts. Stegmayer also set the career stolen base record, finishing her career with 92.
 
Stegmayer's efforts this season helped lead the team to a second straight USA South West Division regular season title, a second straight USA South Tournament Championship, and a third straight appearance in an NCAA Regional Tournament.
 
Off the field, Stegmayer has been named to the USA South All-Academic Team three times during her career.
