SAN ANTONIO – The postseason accolades keep rolling in for the Angelo State softball team, which is coming off its best season in program history since 2018. Three Rambelle standouts – Cheyenne Floyd, Laylonna Applin, and Tatiana Trotter – who all earned NFCA all-region honors last week, receive recognition with the Division II Conference Commissioner's Association (D2CCA), as announced this afternoon.

Floyd and Applin are on the All-South Central region first team, while Trotter finds herself on the second team.

Floyd improved upon a campaign where she was named the LSC Pitcher of the Year in 2024 and was an NFCA Second Team All-American. The Coaching, Sport, Recreation, and Fitness Administration student owns a 27-7 record inside the circle with a 1.71 ERA. She struck out 199 batters in 184.2 innings and held opposing batters to a league-best .177 batting average.

She struck out eight or more batters in 11 appearances this season and has thrown two no-hitters. In the postseason, she made six appearances (five starts), striking out 29 batters in 34.2 innings as she helped the Rambelles reach their first regional final since 2018. Floyd threw a one-hitter against West Texas A&M to force a winner-take-all game, striking out four Lady Buffs in five innings.

In her time at ASU, Floyd was 55-26 with a 1.96 ERA. She struck out 480 batters, the second most in program history.

Applin, who has served as the Rambelles' full-time shortstop in 2025 after moving around the diamond in her rookie season, strung together one of the best seasons in program history. She hit .412 at the plate with an .807 slugging percentage and a .486 on-base percentage. She struck out only 15 times in 214 plate appearances.

Applin drove in the lone run in the Rambelles' 1-0 win over Colorado Mesa to advance to the regional final.

Applin's season ranks in the top ten in program history: batting average, slugging percentage, doubles, triples, RBI, and total bases.

An All-LSC First Team selection this season, the Health Science Professions student kicked off the season by hitting .667 on opening weekend with a 1.733 slugging percentage and 14 RBI en route to being named the NFCA National Player of the Week.

Trotter, a mainstay in the outfield and the heart of the Rambelles' lineup for the past two seasons, was an All-LSC First Team selection as well as earning a Golden Glove.

Trotter hit .330 with a .648 slugging percentage and a .449 on-base percentage. She hit 14 home runs and drove in 47 runs. She ranked second on the team in walks, slugging percentage, and tied for the team lead in home runs. Trotter, who entered the regional final hitting 2-for-14 in postseason play, went 3-for-3 with a two-run home run in the Rambelles' run-rule win over West Texas A&M to force a winner-take-all game.

Floyd and Applin advance to the All-American ballot, which will be released next week. The Rambelles finished the 2025 campaign with a 47-14 overall record, which is tied for the ninth-most wins in a single season in program history.
