Walnut, Calif. — Mt. San Antonio College continued its strong softball tradition with two standout student-athletes earning prestigious recognition as 2025 NFCA Cal JC All-Americans. Catcher Morgan Kneubuhler and pitcher / utility player Kayden Connaty were both honored on the South Region team, announced Wednesday by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA).

Kneubuhler anchored the Mounties both offensively and defensively throughout the 2025 season. The sophomore catcher posted a robust .394 batting average, slugging seven home runs and driving in 33 runs. Her on-base percentage stood at .442, while her fielding percentage was a near-flawless .993, showcasing her consistency and leadership behind the plate.

Joining her on the All-America list was Connaty, who impressed as a two-way player. In the circle, she registered an 8-6 record with a 1.92 ERA and 80 strikeouts. At the plate, Connaty was equally impactful, hitting .429 and driving in 11 runs. Her versatility and poise earned her a spot as the Joan Joyce Utility / Pitcher—an honor given to players who excel both as pitchers and position players.

Together, Kneubuhler and Connaty helped guide Mt. SAC to a 26-15 overall record in a highly competitive South Region.

The NFCA Cal JC All-America selections are voted on by member coaches from each region, with nominees submitted by NFCA-member head coaches. The award represents one of the highest honors in two-year college softball.
