Alexis Valencia from Clarion University is currently standing out in the PSAC conference, boasting a batting average of over .600 during conference play and maintaining a solid .352 average overall. With 19 runs scored and a remarkable 11 out of 12 successful stolen bases since conference games began, she's undeniably one of the top offensive players in the conference at the moment.

Over at Wittenberg University, sophomore Megan McCans is making waves as well. Holding down the second spot in the lineup and playing center field, Megan has been named NCAC Player of the Week for her outstanding performance. With a batting average of .416, an impressive on-base percentage of .473, and a staggering 32 stolen bases, she's truly a force to be reckoned with. Megan's agility and strategic baserunning create chaos for opponents and drive her team's success both on and off the field, exemplified by their 6-4 record at THE Spring Games this year.

Meanwhile, Juliana Hal from Lakeland University has shown remarkable determination and resilience. After suffering a torn ACL in 2023 during play in Florida, Juliana refused to let it end her playing career. Through hard work and commitment to her recovery, she returned to the field for her final season. Despite initially struggling with her batting form, Juliana has bounced back impressively, earning NACC Position Player of the Week honors and maintaining a solid .379 batting average this season. Her impact on the field has been instrumental in Lakeland University's success, particularly evident in their stellar 9-1 record at THE Spring Games this year.
