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.
"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!"
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.
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.
