Tincher named 2008 Female Athlete of the Year by Touchdown Club of Columbus

Former Virginia Tech softball pitcher Angela Tincher has been named the 2008 Female Athlete of the Year by the Touchdown Club of Columbus (Ohio).
Concluding her collegiate career this past summer at the Women’s College World Series, Tincher finished as one of only three players in NCAA history with more than 2,000 career strikeouts.  She not only led the Hokies to the school's first appearance in the WCWS, but pitched a no-hitter against the U.S. National Softball Team to end its 185-game unbeaten streak. 
Tincher pitched for the Akron Racers of the National Pro Fastpitch during the summer and has signed to pitch in Japan next year around her NPF duties.
Off the diamond, the three-time All American who also earned national player of the year honors, graduated from Virginia Tech summa cum laude with a degree in finance.
The Touchdown Club of Columbus will present the 2008 Female Athlete of the Year Award during the club's 54th Annual Sports Awards Banquet on Feb. 7, 2009.  Additional information is available by visiting www.touchdownclubofcolumbus.com.
