Women’s Softball – Ava Wallace, Senior

Ava Wallace, one of our senior captains this season, has been a constant threat to our opponents this season. In our 12 games played in March, the Kansas commit had a .481 batting average with a double, three triples, and three homeruns in the mix. Ava also drew 11 walks, helping our team by getting on base to move around and score.  She is a major offensive threat and a huge part of our lineup. She drove in 12 RBIs and scored 15 times. She is a tough lefty that leaves it all on the field as well, playing center field and assisted in two double plays, which is not an easy feat as a center fielder! Way to go, Ava!
