TISHOMINGO, Okla. - Each week during the 2024-25 academic year, the Murray State College Athletic Department highlights a student-athlete for a Q&A "Student-Athlete Spotlight" Segment. This week's Student-Athlete Spotlight features Brylee Fanning from the Murray State College softball team. Fanning has helped her team to a perfect 12-0 record and the No. 3 ranking in the NJCAA Top 25 Preseason Poll in her first season at Murray State.

Earlier this week, Fanning was named the Region 2 Player of the Week. On the season, Fanning is batting .575 with a team-best 23 hits, 22 runs scored, and 7 long balls. The Lady Aggie has also tallied 19 RBIs through the first 12 games of the year.
