CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) – Eastern Michigan University Freshman Michelle Kriegshauser was named to the Mid-American Conference All-Freshman team, announced by the conference office Tuesday, May 6. The All-MAC softball teams were voted on by the head coaches.
In her first season donning the Green and White, Kriegshauser posted a .270 batting average that ranked second on the team, while her 33 hits tied for third. The starting right fielder tallied 13 doubles, one triple and three home runs while driving in 13 RBI on the season. Kriegshauser led the Eagle offense in slugging percentage (.467) and doubles (13), while ranking second in batting average (.270) and total bases (57). The freshman outfielder currently sits in a tie for the 2014 NCAA single-game record after notching three doubles against Valparaiso University, April 2. Since then, Kriegshauser tacked on seven more doubles and ranks eighth in the nation and third in the Mid-American Conference with 0.39 doubles per game.
In conference play, Kriegshauser finished her freshman season with a team-best .333 batting average that included 21 hits, eight doubles, two home runs and six RBI. The New Lenox, Ill. native boasted a .556 slugging percentage and a .373 on-base percentage in her first season donning the Green and White, while tallying 16 putouts and one assist with no errors.
Kreigshauser's best week came when the freshman went 9-for-13 at the plate with a .692 batting average for the week ending April 6. The right fielder had her second perfect day at the plate going 3-for-3 against Valpo, while also tallying three hits in game two against the Crusaders. Kriegshauser grabbed three hits between the Eagles' two games against Central Michigan, including two doubles, and held a 1.077 slugging percentage on the week along with a .733 on-base percentage.
