DALLAS – Following a dominant senior season, Liberty outfielder Rachel Roupe was named Second Team All-America by D1Softball and Softball America and earned Third Team All-America honors from the NFCA. She is the first CUSA student-athlete to earn All-America recognition since 2022.
 
In addition to being crowned the CUSA Player of the Year, Roupe was selected to the All Mid-Atlantic Region First Team and the All-CUSA First Team after she set a CUSA record for most RBI (39), tied the record for most home runs (13) and led the league in seven offensive categories, including batting average (.486), OPS (1.745), runs (27) and doubles (10) in league play.
 
She was a constant force from the No. 2 spot in the lineup, helping Liberty become the first CUSA team since 2016 to reach the Super Regionals. Roupe held down the right-field position for the Lady Flames (50-15), finishing the year with a .987 fielding percentage. She recorded four outfield assists and committed just one error on the year.
 
Roupe ranked fifth nationally in total bases (166), seventh in home runs (23) and 11^th in doubles (19) and RBI (73). She posted the second-most RBI in a single season (73) in CUSA history, and her 23 home runs and 166 total bases were the third-most in a season in the league’s record book. Roupe also finished the year ranked 25^th in the country in slugging percentage (.851).
 
She tallied 24 multi-hit games, including each of the team’s three matchups with No. 1 Texas A&M in the Bryan-College Station Regional. Roupe also racked up 20 multi-RBI performances, including nine RBI on three home runs in the two games against the Aggies on May 18. She hit a grand slam in the first regional final game before homering twice in the night cap to stun the No. 1 squad.
