Behrend's Whitby Named AMCC Softball Player of the Week
Behrend
center fielder Katie Whitby (Tyrone/Tyrone) has been named the AMCC Softball
Player of the Week on March 19. The sophomore got off to a blistering
start on the team's spring trip to Kissimmee, Florida on March 11-18 to
begin the season.
Whitby went 15 for 31 (.484) at the plate in her first 11 games, including a
double and two triples. She scored 12 runs, had three RBIs, and was
5-for-5 on steal attempts. This is the first week that the AMCC has
named a player of the week in softball for the 2007 season.
Whitby had a stellar start to her career last season as a freshman, hitting
.412 from the plate and leading the team in several statistical categories.
The Behrend Lions went 6-5 to start the season in Florida and will look to
defend their title and repeat as AMCC Champions this season. The first
conference game for the blue and white is a doubleheader scheduled for March
28 at Medaille at 3:00 p.m.
