LMU Softball Honors Four At University’s Annual Athletics Banquet

HARROGATE, TN – Lincoln Memorial University softball Head Coach Dan Burns recognized his team and presented four members individual awards at Tuesday night’s annual Athletics Banquet held on the LMU campus.

After finishing the season in the South Atlantic Conference Tournament Semifinals on Friday afternoon and ending the year with a 32-16 record, the team’s Most Valuable Player and Offensive awards went to Lady Railsplitter sophomore Sara Henn (Kettering, OH former MV Xpess player).

A 5’7” infielder/pitcher, Henn’s performance during the 2007-08 season was stellar.  Henn led the conference this season in hitting this year with a .487 batting average, with 74 hits, 21 doubles, 13 homeruns and 57 runs batted in.  For her efforts, Henn received SAC Player of the Week honors once this season, First Team All-South Atlantic Conference honors, and South Atlantic Conference Player of the Year.  Tuesday night’s MVP award may not be the last accolade Henn receives this season, as she is a candidate for the NCAA Division II Southeast Region Team, as well as NFCA Division II All-American.

Katie has played several positions including 3^rd base for the Xpress Gold and the Xpress College Tour.  She will be an impact player for the ASU Eagles.

She continued to play for the Miami Valley Xpress travel team based in Dayton Ohio, each summer even after transferring.

 “Meagan is an outstanding infielder and hitter,” says Burns.(LMU Coach)  “She has speed to burn and is 2.8 seconds from home to first.  What I like is that she is also an excellent defensive player which will allow her more time on the field.”  Ryan will major in kinesiology.
