Cardington-Lincoln went 15-5 and were 7-3 in KMAC play, and the Pirates made it to the District Semifinals of the Division III Central tournament this year. Much of their success was thanks to five players earning All-KMAC nods.

Genevieve Longsdorf was first team All-KMAC and All-Acacemic, and was a force in the pitching circle and the plate all season long. She pitched a perfect game, which was the fourth of her career. Longsdorf posted a 15-6 record with a 1.45 ERA and an amazing 208 strikeouts in 111 innings. At the plate she was among the leaders in hitting at .480, with five homers, six doubles, two triples and an .813 slugging percentage.

Ariana Simpson was also first team All-KMAC, and batted .507 with five home runs, seven doubles, a triple and an .866 slugging percentage. Her 28 RBIs were tied for fourth in the conference. She had two homers, seven RBIs and three steals in tournament play.

Alexis Longsdorf and Morgan Powell were both named second team All-KMAC. Lonsdorg batted .478 and Morgan Powell broke the top 10 with 25 RBIs.

Celia Hall was an honorable mention and showed some speed on the base paths with nine steals, good for cracking the top 10 in KMAC.
