DURHAM, N.C. – Following a strong year in the classroom and shortened spring season, senior Raine Wilson and junior Jameson Kavel of Duke softball were named to the Google Cloud CoSIDA Academic All-District III First Team.
This is the second honor for Wilson, who became the first player in program history to receive the distinction in 2019, and the first for Kavel.

At the end of the shortened season, Wilson held a .315 career batting average in 130 games played in a Duke uniform. The Mechanicsville, Va., native recorded 116 hits, 15 home runs, 78 runs batted in, a .535 slugging percentage and a .418 on base percentage.
Kavel was having her best year at the plate in 2020, batting .377 and leading the ACC with 29 runs scored for 25th best in runs per game in the country (1.12). The Duluth, Ga., product has played in 138 contest and holds a .295 career batting average. She's garnered 129 hits, including 14 triples, scored 91 runs and stolen 44 bases.
