3 THE DIAMOND CLUB DIAMOND CLUB GOALS Oklahoma State Softball boasts a great history and tradition of success on and off the field, and we are determined to continue to restore this great program. The Diamond Club will provide Cowgirl Softball the additional funds needed to elevate the program in the following areas... Last season, we continued to make great strides in establishing Oklahoma State softball as one of the country s premier programs. We had great success on and off the field, as we made the postseason again and led the Big 12 in Academic All-Big 12 selections for the second consecutive season. Vanessa Shippy was also named an All-American and an Academic All-American for the second-straight year, highlighting an impressive group of recordsetting individual performances in Overall, it was a season that helped us to continue our journey to the top of college softball.
