Baldwin High School graduate Jessica Dignon became the first softball player in University of Pittsburgh history to be voted to the Big East Conference All-Star Team three consecutive years.

Dignon was a first team selection at shortstop, after earning third-team honors the past two seasons while playing third base.

"It is a well-deserved honor and is a testament to Jessica's dedication and hard work all year," Pitt coach Michelle Phalen said.

Dignon set a pair of school record with 17 doubles and 42 runs scored. She had a .377 average (66 hits in 175 at bats), six home runs, and 44 RBI. Dignon is also Pitt's career leader in RBIs (113) and doubles (45).
