Earlier this season, Corrick broke the conference record for consecutive AAC Pitcher of the Week Honors with five in a row and holds the record for the most overall honors with 23 in her time with USF (six in 2019, three in 2020, seven in 2021 and seven in 2022). She seven so far this season is only one behind Tulsa's Emily Watson, who had eight in 2017, for the most in a single-season.
Johns (Sarasota, Fla.) went three-for-four in the doubleheader in Jacksonville, Fla. Overall, she finished the day with a .750/.833/1.750 slash, two doubles, a triple and three stolen bases. She also added two walks, a sacrifice bunt and two RBIs to her totals.
In the doubleheader, she also surpassed UCF's Kahley Novak for the American Athletic Conference single-season record. Novak stole 43 bases in 2015, which was bested by Johns' current mark of 45 this season.
While Corrick has had her name in the USF record books extensively in recent years, Johns has made a spot for herself as well. Currently, Johns is the USF single-season stolen bases record holder, but also leads in multiple other average categories and is tied for seventh in the USF career stolen base category in less than two full seasons with the Bulls.
Johns also currently holds the top spot in two average categories that will be finalized when the season or her USF career ends: career stolen base percentage (.971, 67 steals on 69 attempts) and season stolen bases per game (1.000).
