OKLAHOMA CITY -- Senior Ashlee Dodson has been named to the All-Sooner Athletic Conference softball team with a second-team nod, while senior Ashtin Simeroth and sophomore Amber Tinney each received honorable-mention recognition, the league announced last night (May 6). 

Dodson was a force in the Lady Evangels' lineup this season, leading the squad in hitting(.350), runs (34), hits (55), doubles (18), triples (2), home runs (5), slugging percentage (.586), on-base percentage (.400) and stolen bases (10).  She has also stifled the opposing running game behind the plate, throwing out nearly 54 percent (15-of-28) of potential base stealers.  Even though she is listed as a junior on the roster, Dodson is set to graduate early and will not return next season. 

Simeroth rode a late season hot streak to raise her batting average for the season to .296, which ranks second on the team.  She has driven in 20 runs on the season and is also second on the team in hits (45) and on-base percentage (.335), along with 11 doubles and 21 runs scored. 

Tinney was the Lady Evangels' ace on the mound this season, ranking fifth in the SAC with 163 1/3 innings pitched.  She also led the staff in wins (9), complete games (19) and shutouts (3) while also recording one save. 

The trio helped the Lady Evangels to a third-place finish at the recent National Christian College Athletic (NCCAA) Central Regional tournament and also win their second most conference games (5) since joining the NAIA in 2009.
