COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Five BYU Cougars were named to the Mountain West All-Conference softball team today, including Kristin Delahoussaye, who was named Freshman of the Year.

Delahoussaye, a native of Las Vegas, Nev., led BYU to a second-place finish in the MWC and an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. She ranks in the top five of six MWC offensive categories, with a spot in doubles (1st), runs scored (2nd), total bases (3rd), slugging percentage (3rd), on-base percentage (3rd) and home runs (4th). As a freshman, Delahoussaye started all 60 games for the Cougars.

Angeline Quiocho was named All-MWC for the second consecutive year. Delahoussaye, Christina Gwyn-Trice, Amanda Vance and Daniela Snow received their first All-MWC honors.

The 20-member all-conference team includes five players from BYU, four players each from regular-season champion San Diego State and Colorado State, three players from UNLV and Utah, and one from New Mexico.
