Louisville, Ky. – A trio of Angelo State softball standouts – Cheyenne Floyd, Tatiana Trotter, and Laylonna Applin – were named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-South Central Region First Team, the organization announced this afternoon.

Floyd earns first-team honors for the second successive season, while Trotter makes her first appearance on the first team after being named to the second team a season ago. Applin earns the first all-region honor of her career at Angelo State.

This is the most all-region honorees the Rambelles have in a single season since 2022.

Floyd has 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 25-6 record inside the circle with a 1.69 ERA. She has struck out 179 batters in 161.2 innings and has held opposing batters to a league-best .178 batting average.

She has struck out eight or more batters in ten appearances this season and has thrown two no-hitters. Floyd is peaking at the right time, as she struck out 59 batters in 48.2 innings in April. She closed the regular season with a complete-game shutout of then-top-ranked West Texas A&M, fanning eight Lady Buffs as the Rambelles handed WT their biggest loss in 2025.

In her time at ASU, Floyd is 53-25 with a 1.97 ERA. She has struck out 460 batters, the second most in program history.

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 is hitting .325 with a .650 slugging percentage and a .445 on-base percentage. She has hit 13 home runs and driven in 45 runs. She ranks second on the team in walks, slugging percentage, and home runs. Trotter was named the LSC Hitter of the Week on March 11^th after a weekend that saw her hit .615 and slug 1.538. She drove in nine runs that week while scoring six times herself.

Applin, who has served as the Rambelles' full-time shortstop in 2025 after moving around the diamond in her rookie season, has strung together one of the best seasons in program history. She is hitting .436 at the plate with an .866 slugging percentage and a .510 on-base percentage. She is third in the country with 149 total bases and has struck out only 13 times in 198 plate appearances.

If the season ended today, Applin's season would rank in the top five in program history: batting average, slugging percentage, on-base percentage, triples, 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.

The Rambelles are 44-12 this season and are the third seed in the South Central regional. The Rambelles open the NCAA Tournament this evening against Colorado Mesa.
