Ware made the Second Team while Irish earned All-Freshman Team honors and Howell made the All-Defensive Team.

Ware finished the regular season in the top 10 in the league in hits (73), runs (61), home runs (21), RBI (57) and slugging percentage (.730). His career-best .358 batting average ranked just outside the top 10. The senior led Auburn in batting average (.333), runs (38), hits (40), home runs (12) and total bases (80) during conference play.

Irish made the All-Freshman Team after being named the Freshman of the Week three times during his first season on the Plains. His 21 doubles are the third most in the SEC and lead freshmen nationally. He leads Auburn with 79 hits on the season, the fifth most in the league.

Howell, a mainstay in center field since he arrived at Auburn, has a .993 fielding percentage this season after making just one error in 149 chances to go with three outfield assists. The senior has made just seven total errors in his 243 games, the third most ever by a Tiger.

The trio has helped lead No. 25 Auburn to a 33-19-1 overall record and a  No. 5 seed in the SEC Tournament. The Tigers are set to open tournament play Tuesday night in Hoover, Alabama, with a game against Missouri (30-23, 10-20), their fourth straight matchup.
