SB: Goodnight Named First Team, Five Others Earn All-PAC
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - For the third time in five seasons, the Bethany College softball team placed six student-athletes on the All-Presidents' Athletic Conference team, the league announced tonight (May 14, 2025).
Graduate Destiny Goodnight was the lone first team selection with graduate Morgan Huey, fifth year Josie Wise, sophomore Emma Jackson, and freshman Olivia Kidd earning second team honors. Junior Brooke Markland was named honorable mention.
"I am incredibly proud of these 6 student-athletes for being recognized as All-Conference selections. This honor is a testament not only to their individual talent but also to the way they elevate everyone around them."
This marks the fourth time in her career Goodnight earned All-PAC honors, the second as an outfielder. Her first two awards in 2022 and 2023 were at first base. She was fifth in the PAC, hitting .424 on the season. Her 44 runs scored and 35 stolen bases were second in the PAC. Goodnight finished her career as the program's leader with 92 stolen bases.
Goodnight capped her career in the top 10 of several offensive categories – runs scored (first, 135), batting average (fourth, .386), hits (fourth, 188), and triples (t-fifth, 9).
Huey was named to an All-PAC team for the fifth time in her career in a third position. She earned all-conference honors as a shortstop in 2021, a utility player in 2022 and 2023, and as a catcher in 2024 and 2025.
She was one of 22 qualifying players nationally to not get caught stealing. Huey was ninth nationally in sacrifice flies and 18th nationally with 17 doubles. She was ranked fourth in the PAC with 40 runs scored.
The graduate student finished her career ranked in the top 10 in program history in doubles (first, 55), at-bats (first, 600), hits (second, 209), stolen bases (second, 76), RBI (third, 118), runs scored (fourth, 125), and triples (fifth, nine).
Wise, for the fourth time in her career, earned a spot on the All-PAC team. She was third in the PAC with 146 strikeouts and was seventh in the PAC with a 2.77 earned run average. She holds school records in starts (95), wins (64), and strikeouts (646). Her 76 complete games are second all-time. Wise also holds the single season record with 183 strikeouts, set in 2022.
Kidd finished third in the PAC with 41 RBI and was third on the team, hitting .390. She slashed .390/.405/.511 with 13 doubles, two triples, and 35 runs scored.
Jackson made an immediate impact after returning from an injury. She played in just 14 games but finished third in the PAC with six homeruns. The six longballs were just two away from tying the school record. Jackson slashed .486/.583/1.081 with four doubles and 15 RBI.
Markland slashed .350/.420/.479 with 33 runs scored, 11 doubles, two triples, 36 RBI, and 25 stolen bases. She joined Huey as one of 21 other qualifying players nationally to not get caught stealing.
Bethany opened the season with 15 straight victories and advanced to the PAC Tournament for the second straight season.
