Three Behrend Lions Named to AMCC All-Conference Softball Team

The Penn State Behrend women's softball team had three players selected to the AMCC all-conference softball team, announced on Friday, May 14.  Sophomore catcher Morgan Griffin (Springboro/Conneaut Valley) was named to the first team, while sophomore pitcher Emma Hahn (Smethport/Smethport) was tabbed to the second team, and freshman centerfielder Mary DeMino (Wexford/North Allegheny) was picked as an honorable mention.

Griffin batted .305 this season, with 29 hits in 35 games played.  She drove in 18 runs, scored ten, and had 41 total bases.  Griffin led the blue and white in doubles, with nine, and also tied for the team lead in walks with 18.

Hahn had a team-best 1.79 ERA in 2010, which ranked second in the AMCC.  Hahn was overpowering on the mound, striking out 104 batters in 125.2 innings of work and led the league in opponents batting average, holding foes to a .194 batting average.  The sophomore was also a second team All-AMCC selection in 2009. 

DeMino was second on the team with a .359 batting average, but led the team in numerous categories.  DeMino ranked first for the Behrend Lions in hits (46), runs (27), RBIs (26), total bases (67), stolen bases (10), triples (5), and plate appearances (128).

The AMCC all-conference team is selected by a vote of the league coaches.  Behrend finished 17-21 overall and 8-12 in the AMCC in 2010 with a squad that had no seniors on the roster.
