Glixman sisters are 4x Jewish Sports Review All-America First-Team honorees

St. Louis- Fontbonne University junior softball players Cassi Glixman and Danni Glixman (St. Louis, MO/Parkway North) have once again been named to the Jewish Sports Review All-America First-Team. The corner sisters have attained this achievement all four years as Griffins, representing NCAA Divisions II, III and the NAIA.

The following two paragraphs are directly out of the Jewish Sports Review:

She was named the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC) Player of the Year (2nd time), Coaches' (NFCA) All-Midwest Team, 1st team, All-America, D-3, 3rd team, and (CoSIDA) Academic All-America, 1st team.

Danni Glixman outdid her twin sister Cassi in their sisterly battle for highest batting average by posting a .455 (#1) b.a. on 60/132, cracked 4 homers (#2), drove in 37 runs (#2), ripped 17 doubles (#2), sprinted for 10/15 stolen bases, scored 37 runs (#3), unleashed a .750 slugging percentage and defended at a .937 clip (43/76/8) while starting 41/41 games.
