TAMPA, July 14, 2022 – University of South Florida softball standout Georgina Corrick has been recognized among national nominees for the 2022 NCAA Woman of the Year Award, the NCAA announced Thursday.
 
The award, established in 1991, honors the academic achievements, athletics excellence, community service and leadership of graduating female collegiate student-athletes from all three NCAA divisions. To be eligible, a nominee must have competed and earned a varsity letter in an NCAA-sponsored sport and must have earned her undergraduate degree by Summer 2022.
 
Corrick completed her career with one of the most dominant seasons in USF history in 2022. She was named the NFCA and Softball America Pitcher of the Year and was recognized as a top three finalist for the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year award as she finished her senior season by leading the country with a 0.51 ERA, 274.1 innings pitched, 21 shutouts, a 12.29 strikeout-to-walk ratio, 418 strikeouts and 37 wins.
 
The program's second three-time All-American, Corrick leaves a legacy of excellence in the circle. With a career record of 113-32, the Sanford, Fla., native tossed a 1.04 ERA in 985.2 innings, adding 1,302 strikeouts, the 25^th most in NCAA history, and 55 shutouts, while also participating in nine no-hitters, including eight solo bids and two perfect games. She was the first pitcher in conference history to win the Pitcher of the Year award in all four years of eligibility and was also the league's rookie of the year in 2018. In total, Corrick broke or tied 40 different USF or AAC records.
 
In the classroom, Corrick continued to dominate. USF's first three-time CoSIDA Academic All-American, she was also named the CoSIDA Academic All-America Softball Team Member of the Year in 2022 and was a five-time selection to the AAC All-Academic team. In 2021, the American Athletic Conference recognized Corrick as its Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year. She graduated in 2021 with a bachelor's degree in marine biology and is currently pursuing a master's degree in global sustainability.
 
Corrick is currently pursuing a professional career with Athletes Unlimited. She participated in the league's inaugural AUX season, finishing in fifth on the league's leaderboard with a 4-2 record and a 2.14 ERA in 39.1 innings pitched. She'll also play in the upcoming Women's Softball European Championship as a member of the Great Britain National Team in late July.
