July 09, 2021 | Softball
BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – Runnin' Bulldogs Softball inked the first recruit of the Bailey Wigness era with the signing of UCF transfer Kasey Fava.
Â
"Kasey Fava will bring great experience to our program," said Head Coach Bailey Wigness. "She has competed in the postseason and has been a part of a top-25 nationally ranked team. She will help us out tremendously on the field and help us to build our culture here at Gardner-Webb. We are so excited to welcome Kasey to the Runnin' Bulldog family!"
Â
The Maitland, Fla. native brings a wealth of experience to the Runnin' Bulldogs Softball program as Fava played her two previous seasons at the University of Central Florida, where she saw action in a total of 45 games over the course of two years. During the 2021 season Fava was a perfect 4-for-4 in stolen base attempts and scored six runs for the Knights. In the shortened 2020 season, Fava scored 11 additional runs, and was 3-for-3 in stolen bases, while starting 12 games in the outfield.
Â
Previously to UCF, Fava also spent two years playing for Stetson University where she was named to the 2018 ASUN All-Freshman Team and the 2019 ASUN Honor Roll. Playing in the outfield for the Hatters, Fava started in 86 out of 93 games played in and went 71-for-257 at the plate while scoring 47 runs over her two-year stint with the program.
