   AUBURN, Ala. — After a stellar weekend at the NCAA Auburn Regional, UCF junior outfielder Andrew Williamson has been named to the Auburn Regional All-Tournament Team.

   Williamson hit out a UCF regional-record four home runs over the Black and Gold’s three games in the Auburn Regional, which included the first three-home run game of his career in a 9-3 victory over NC State in the opener on Friday. He followed that up with another home run on Saturday vs. Milwaukee. The three-homer game on Friday marked UCF’s first three-home run game since Danny Neri hit out three round trippers in a Big 12 Tournament win over Cincinnati on May 21, 2024.

   For the Auburn Regional, the native of St. Petersburg, Florida, batted .364 with four home runs, four runs scored, seven runs batted in, a whopping 1.455 slugging, and a .462 on-base percentage. He also set a new career-high with six RBI in the win over NC State, as he had a solo shot, a two-run homer, and three-run home run in the contest.

   Williamson also earned All-Big 12 Second Team honors last month, as he finished second on the team in 2026 with a .322 batting average and led the way with 16 homers, four triples, 33 extra-base hits, 58 runs scored, 41 walks, a .645 slugging percentage, and a .442 on-base clip. He also finished second on the team in doubles with 13 and RBI with 48.

CSC ACADEMIC ALL-DISTRICT BASEBALL TEAM

   ORLANDO – A pair of UCF baseball student-athletes were named to the 2026 College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team as announced Tuesday by the organization.

   Seniors Kris Sosnowski and Javier Crespo both received the prestigious honor for the 2025-26 academic year. This marks the second time of Sosnowski’s career and the first for Crespo.

   The 2026 Academic All-District Baseball Team recognizes the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances on the diamond and in the classroom. To be eligible, one must hold a 3.50 cumulative GPA or better, as well as be a key contributor on the field.

   Right-handed pitcher Sosnowski was named Academic All-District for the second time in his career after being one of UCF’s top relief pitchers on the season. The native of Lutz, Florida, led the team with a 2.10 ERA and tied for the team-lead with four saves. He also posted a 1-0 record over 19 appearances. He added 16 strikeouts over 25.2 innings and limited opposing hitters to a .237 batting average on the year.

   Sosnowski previously earned a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from UCF last spring and will earn a master’s in management this summer.

   Third baseman Crespo was named Academic All-District for the first time after being one of team’s top hitters on the season. The Orlando native finished fourth on the team with a .317 average. He also posted 15 extra-base hits with nine doubles, five homers and a triple. He also scored 34 runs and drove in 26 more. He slugged .457 with a .408 on-base percentage, while also drawing 20 walks and stealing a base. Defensively, Crespo had just six errors at the hot-corner of third base with a .951 fielding percentage.

   Crespo earned a bachelor's degree in integrative general studies from UCF last month.
