JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 12, 2016) – Following a breakout freshman season, ETSU softball player Cassi Pickett (Chattanooga, Tenn.) was named to the College Sport Madness All-SoCon Second Team. Pickett is the third Buc over the past two seasons to be named a College Sport Madness All-SoCon selection after Kelsey Chernak (Ooltewah, Tenn.) and Taylor Carter (Brazil, Ind.) were named to the team last season.
