The second Owl to earn All-American Honors was Bella Foran (FR.,LF). Despite being a true freshman, Bella immediately stole the show, starting 57/57 games in left field. Foran’s ‘slap hit’ style at the plate would go onto lead the entire AAC in batting average at .419, securing 62 hits in the process. Defensively, Bella was just as efficient, as she recorded 116 outs on no errors. Bella Foran would go onto be named to the All-AAC Second Team alongside the All-AAC Freshman Team.

As previously stated, Autumn and Bella’s achievements mark the first time in program history numerous Owls received All-American Honors in the same season. This also marks the first time in program history that at least an Owl earned All-American Honors in two consecutive seasons (Trinity Schlotterbeck, 2024).
When asked about what this accomplishment means for the program, Florida Atlantic HC Jordan Clark stated:
“Being an All-American is the highest honor you can win in our sport. It is something softball players dream of when they are younger and to see Bella and Autumn accomplish their dreams is truly priceless.”
