The three biggest pieces from Duke’s historic 2024 season will forever be a part of program history.
The team revealed that Claire Davidson, Jala Wright, and Aminah Vega each got an image of their jersey up on the Duke Softball Stadium wall after they each earned All-American honors last season.
Only four Duke softball players made the wall as All-Americans before this season, but each member of the 2024 trio made both the D1Softball and NFCA All-American squads.
Davidson, a senior right fielder, hit a team-high 18 home runs and set school records with 20 doubles and 67 runs batted in. The sophomore Vega, who played second base, hit 12 home runs, 18 doubles, and 52 RBIs, one of the best offensive seasons in school history aside from Davidson’s campaign.
Wright, a senior pitcher, appeared in 34 of Duke’s 61 games. She struck out 189 batters in 154.1 innings in the circle, and she tossed eight complete games. Wright finished the season with a 19-3 record and a 1.50 ERA.

Each player who earned their way onto the wall brought home some ACC hardware, too. Davidson was named the conference’s Player of the Year while Wright took ACC Pitcher of the Year honors and Vega earned the ACC Defensive Player of the Year award.
