COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Kindall Bethke has been named to the All-RMAC Second Team, while Katelyn Odle is on the Gold Glove Team, the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference announced on Tuesday morning.  

Bethke, a third baseman from Belgrade, Montana, led the Yellow Jackets, and was ninth in the conference with a .397 batting average. She also led the squad with a .542 slugging percentage. The junior started all 41 games for the Green and Gold, hitting seven doubles, three triples, and two home runs. She also tallied 12 runs batted in and 22 runs scored.

"Kindall has developed into one of the league's most prolific hitters," said head coach Lane Leedy. "Today she is honored for both her efforts on the field and at the plate."

Odle, a senior from Simi Valley, California, finished the season with a .947 fielding percentage. Starting all but two games at second base, she tallied 79 putouts and 63 assists. At the plate, she hit seven doubles and two homers.

"Katelyn will leave BHSU as the best defensive four-year starter to put on a Yellow Jacket jersey," said head coach Lane Leedy. "Her efforts at second base will be hard to replace."

The Yellow Jackets finished the 2019 season with the most RMAC wins (10) since they joined the conference. They also played their first true home games in 719 days, when BHSU hosted CCU April 19-20.

Colorado Mesa earned the RMAC regular season crown, with Mavericks AnnMarie Torres and Kimbri Herring being named Offensive Player and Pitcher of the Year, respectively. Other major award winners were Rebecca Gonzales from MSU Denver, who earned Freshman of the Year, and Leah Glasglow from Colorado School of Mines, who was named Coach of the Year.
