Fans reminded to vote for Lowes Senior CLASS Award

Fans of Virginia Tech and softball pitcher Angela Tincher are reminded that they can vote once per day, per computer for the Lowes Senior CLASS Award for softball. Tincher is one of 10 finalists for the prestigious award.

Tincher, a two-time All-American on the field and a two-time Academic All-American, currently sports a cumulative GPA of over 3.8 in finance and will graduate this May. She has already been accepted into Tech's MBA program and plans to pursue that degree next year. She is the nation's leader in both strikeouts and ERA and is approaching 2,000 career strikeouts.

An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award has developed into the nation's premier tribute to college seniors. The award, which launched in 2001 with college basketball, is now in its second year for softball. Arizona outfielder Caitlin Lowe won the inaugural softball division award in 2007.

There is a link on the right side of the main hokiesports.com page, as well as the softball page. Or you can bookmark this page and go directly there each day.

Fans can vote for up to three people each time, but don’t have to vote for three. Nationwide voting ends May 9 and the winner will be announced at the Women’s College World Series.

The Hokies (36-11, 13-2 ACC) will be at home this weekend, hosting Florida State in a big three-game series. The Hokies and Seminoles will play a single game Friday night at 7 o’clock before playing the doubleheader Saturday starting at 5 p.m. Friday will be Kelsey Hoffman trading card day and Saturday will be VT Car Flag Giveaway as well as Faculty/Staff Day.
