On Tuesday morning, the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) announced their 2021 All ODAC Softball awards. Four Maroons were named to the three teams after a season in which Roanoke finished fourth in the conference and earned a trip to the ODAC Softball Tournament semifinals. Pitcher Jada Karnes was named to the first team while catcher Rachel Sirbaugh, outfielder Rebecca Hensley, and infielder Makayla Austin were named to the second team.

Karnes was named to one of the two first team pitcher spots after a season that saw the Roanoke native finish third in the conference with 14 wins. Her 1.44 earned run average (ERA) ranked second in the ODAC as did her two saves. Karnes made 21 appearances and recorded 109 strikeouts in her 111 innings of work and was named to the 2021 ODAC Softball All Tournament Team.

Sirbaugh, a sophomore catcher, earned second team honors after posting .386 batting average, 7th in the ODAC. Three home runs to go with seven doubles and two triples helped Sirbaugh to a slugging percentage of .627, ranking her 6th in the conference and her .475 on base percentage was 7th best in the league.

Hensley was honored by the league as a 2019 All ODAC first teamer and returns as a second team honoree this season. The graduating junior warped up the season with a .313 average and finished in the top 20 in both triples and runs scored. Her 15 stolen bases led the team and were 6th best in the ODAC.

Austin, a sophomore third baseman, also made the second team. Austin posted a .326 batting average and a .921 fielding percentage while playing the hot corner. She recorded 31 putouts and her 51 assists ranked 12th in the conference.
