SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – On the eve of the 2025 Summit League Softball Tournament in Brookings, S.D., the league office announced its all-conference teams on Tuesday morning and among the honorees are five North Dakota Fighting Hawks, the most by the program since becoming a Summit League member and the most by the program since placing six on multiple All-Great West Conference teams in 2012. Senior pitcher Makaela Carr and senior shortstop Katie Joten were named to the league's second team, while senior pitcher Jackie Albrecht, junior outfielder Camryn Lasota and senior designated player Callie Honig received honorable mention honors.

Led by the aforementioned five Fighting Hawks, North Dakota currently holds the second-most wins in a single season in program history and enters postseason play two victories shy of setting a new single-season standard. UND, the league's fourth seed, opens tournament action against (5) North Dakota State and aims to advance into the double elimination portion of the bracket for the first time since 2021.

Makaela Carr
A native of Smithville, Missouri, Carr became the first Fighting Hawk to earn two weekly honors from the Summit League in the same season as she was twice named the league's Peak Pitcher of the Week. In 2025, the lefthander ranks second in the country in saves with nine (DI single-season program record) and has also earned nine victories. In 93.0 innings pitched, she leads UND in strikeouts (99) and innings pitched and holds starter-best marks in ERA (3.16), WHIP (1.30), wins and saves. Her 4.30 K-to-BB ratio is a top 30 mark nationally and the second highest among Summit League arms.

In 30 appearances with a dozen starts, Carr has gone the distance five times and has recorded five or more Ks in an outing nine times, including four appearances with seven or more strikeouts to go along with a season-high nine against Northern Iowa. Carr won three times in league action in addition to earning a pair of saves, while ranking second on the team in strikeouts with 29 in a team-high nine league appearances.

Katie Joten
A native of Little Chute, Wisconsin, Joten leads the Fighting Hawks in runs scored (34), walks (26), hit-by-pitch (11) and on-base percentage (.434) and ranks second in hits (48). Joten has over 100 hits in her career as a Fighting Hawk with her 100^th coming in UND's game three win over NDSU. A knack for getting on base, Joten is in the midst of her third-straight season with 30 or more combined walks and hit-by-pitch, and she is currently the only player in the league ranked in the top five in both categories. She is just the second player in program history with 85+ career walks. A 2023 All-Summit League performer, Joten has recorded 13 multi-hit games this season with a pair of multi-RBI performances. As UND's everyday shortstop, she leads the Summit League in assists (118), ranks third in putouts (82) and has been a part of two dozen double plays turned by the Fighting Hawks' defense. Joten's total assists rank inside the top 30 among all Division I fielders.

Jackie Albrecht
A native of Barrington, Illinois, Albrecht became just the fourth pitcher in program history with 400 career strikeouts as a seven-K effort on Senior Day moved her into second all-time on the Fighting Hawks' DI career strikeout list. A 2024 All-Summit League second team pitcher and a 2025 preseason player to watch, Albrecht earned three victories, registered one save and went the distance six times for UND in 2025. She enters postseason play with 88 strikeouts, 35 of which came against Summit League opposition, and carries a staff-low opponents' batting average of .222 which dipped to .215 in league play.

Additionally, Albrecht has four hits and seven RBI at the plate this season and holds the single-game season-best RBI mark with five which included her first career home run in UND's win over New Mexico.

Camryn Lasota
A native of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, Lasota's plate presence has packed a powerful punch for North Dakota this season. She is the first Fighting Hawk since 2017 to hit eight home runs in a single season, and she leads UND in slugging percentage (.579) and OPS (.955). In 45 games, Lasota has recorded 31 hits with 29 RBI and 17 runs scored. Her 13 extra base hits are the third-most on the team, while her nine multi-RBI games pace the offense. In 18 starts against league foes, Lasota recorded a dozen hits, including five for extra bases, with nine RBI and four runs scored.

Lasota saw action in the circle early on in the '25 campaign earning a win for UND against Northern Iowa after tossing a season-high four innings with three strikeouts. In all, Lasota has pitched in seven games totaling 12.1 innings with a win and a save. As a fielder, Lasota has recorded 43 putouts with three assists.

Callie Honig
A native of Scottsdale, Arizona, Honig earned her first career weekly honor from the Summit League after a stellar week that included her go-ahead and eventual game-winning two-run single in the eighth inning of game three against North Dakota State in Fargo. For the season, Honig is one of three Hawks with 40+ hits (42), she ranks second in average (.311) and third in runs scored (24). Much of the senior's damage has come in the form of RBI as she leads UND with 33, behind a team-leading 15 doubles which are the second-most among Summit League hitters. Her 69 total bases and 19 extra base hits are both Hawk highs.

Honig has delivered 13 multi-hit games and six multi-RBI games. She is the lone Hawk with a four-hit game in 2025, and she is one of only two with three games of three or more hits. Against conference foes, Honig recorded a team-best 14 hits, five doubles, two home runs, 12 RBI and 25 total bases and led UND in slugging percentage (.510) and on-base percentage (.375).
