INDIANAPOLIS – June 22, 2016 – Fort Lewis College senior softball outfielder Missy Fundora has been nominated for the NCAA Woman of the Year award.
 
The NCAA Woman of the Year award honors graduating female college athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in academics, athletics, service and leadership.
 
Fundora is the FLC career leader in at-bats, hits and doubles.  She finished her senior campaign with a .392 batting average after collecting 60 hits on 153 at-bats.  She led the team in runs scored (38), doubles (16) and walks (18).  Fundora was one of two Skyhawks to play in all 47 games, and the only Skyhawks to have started all 47 games. The RMAC Player of the Week on March 8, 2016, Fundora has been named the RMAC Softball Academic Player of the Year two times. 
 
A two-time all-conference performer, Fundora has been named to the Academic All-RMAC three times and was named to the 2014-15 CoSIDA Academic All-Region VI team.  She was chosen as the 2015-16 Jan Wilson Hetzler Outstanding Senior Female Athlete of the Year, which is presented each year to the most outstanding senior female student-athlete at Fort Lewis College.
 
This pool of school honorees marks the largest in the 26-year history of the award with 517 nominees between Divisions I, II and III. Fundora is one of 117 that competed in Division II. This year's nominees also represent 21 different women's sports, and 127 of the nominees competed in more than one sport in college.
