OKLAHOMA CITY -- Mid-America Christian University softball players Erica Love, Jackie Hilterbran and Kenna McCoy have each been each been named to the All-Sooner Athletic Conference second-team squad, the league released today (May 6). Tiffany Holt was also awarded a gold glove selection.

Her homers and slugging percentage rank first in school history since joining the NAIA and her RBI output is tied for first.
Hilterbran, a junior OKC native, also made history by scoring the most runs (35) for the Lady Evangels since becoming an NAIA school. She batted a team-high .387 and led the team with 35 hits. She also contributed on the mound, leading the starting staff in earned-run-average (4.26), complete games (5) and innings pitched (97).
McCoy, a sophomore from Warner, Okla., was third on the Lady Evangels in batting average (.352) and ranked second in hits (44) and tied for first with two triples. She was also third on the team in on-base-percentage (.400) and runs scored (24).
Holt, a freshman from OKC, had a .954 fielding percentage with a team-high 89 assists along with assisting on six double-plays.
