In their second round game of the Great South Athletic Conference Championships, the Agnes Scott softball team defeated Spelman by a score of 10-6.
While Agnes Scott did not win the GSAC Championship, the Scotties were able to make great strides under new head coach, Shawn Bowers.
The Scotties finished the season with an overall record of 5-22, the most softball victories for Agnes Scott in three years. Their conference mark of 1-11 was good for sixth place.
First-years Chelsea Kremer and Amanda Messina were each named to the GSAC All-Freshman team. Kremer was also named the Agnes Scott Athletics Rookie of the Year at the Agnes Scott Athletic Department Banquet in April.
Kremer pitched in all but two of the Scotties' contests and recorded a .343 batting average, good for tenth place in the conference.
Team awards were also announced at the banquet. Kremer was named Most Valuable Player, while Messina was named the team's Rookie of the Year. Four Agnes Scott athletes were named Unsung Heroes of Scottie Softball. They were seniors Nicole Maples and Ashley Schmidt, along with first-years Kate Schuhlein and Anna Wyatt.
