Kribs, a two-year starter at shortstop and the team's leadoff hitter, has demonstrated consistent effort and leadership throughout the season.

Kribs is a Sparklight Jersey Female Athlete of the Month.

"Anna gives 100% effort from her first warm-up until the end of the game or practice and sets a great example for her teammates," Crnokrak said. "She creates an offensive spark and is an aggressive base runner who puts pressure on opponents' defense."
