FSU sports information:
The awards are continuing to stack up for freshman pitcher Jazzy Francik as she was named one of 10 finalists for the NFCA National Freshman of the Year award. Francik was the only ACC player to make the list and continues the Seminoles' streak as having a top 10 finalist for the award in four consecutive seasons.
Francik has been a breakout star for the Noles in the circle as she leads the team with a 1.64 ERA in 81.1 innings. Francik is 9-2 this season and has been outstanding as of late. In her last three starts, Francik has pitched 19 scoreless innings and struck out 21 batters while allowing just five hits. Francik threw the first no-hitter against a ranked opponent in program history last week against Virginia Tech. It was also the first no-hitter by a true freshman since Lacey Waldrop in 2012.
The list will be trimmed to three athletes on May 22.
