Andrews is a repeat selection to the All-Defensive Team, earning the honors in 2021 and 2022. At LSU, she earned the nickname “Air Aliyah” for her spectacular diving catches and is no stranger to ESPN’s SportsCenter Top 10 list. That carried over to AU, where she was featured at No. 2 on August 6 during championship season 3. That same season she tied for third in the league with three stolen bases in four attempts.

Andrews’ best finish on the leaderboard was in 2021 where she broke into the Top 10 to finish eighth overall. She garnered a .319 batting average, tied for eighth in the league with 15 hits, and went 4-for-4 on stolen base attempts that season.

In championship season 4, Mendes accumulated 1,200 points to finish in 27th place in the top half of the leaderboard. She tied DJ Sanders as the league-leader in win points. She had an 11-4 game record and logged inning-win points for 65-of-105 possible innings.
