Katiyana Mauga and Toni Mascarenas were both legends for the Wildcats. Danieca Coffey and Bianka Bell played down in Baton Rouge for the Tigers.
The finalists listed above for third base were all legends in their own right. Jessie Warren of Florida State, Karli Spaid of Miami Ohio, Kasey Cooper of Auburn, Mia Scott of Texas, Abbey Cheek of Kentucky are some of the best players to wear their respected uniforms all-time.
Then, there is Krista Donnenwirth of Arizona State, Lindsay Wood of Iowa, Kara Nelson of Illinois State, Amber Patton of DePaul, Andrea Loman of Notre Dame, and Brette Reagan of Baylor.
