West Release
(May 16, 2007) - Sophomore outfielder
Tricia Adgar was named second team All-Big West and freshman
designated player Marissa Alvidrez was named Big West Honorable
Mention as both a utility player and designated player, the
conference announced Tuesday evening.
Adgar (Alameda, CA), moved into the starting
line-up when injuries knocked three starters out of the Highlanders
outfield. She hit .316 on the season with a homer and seven
RBI. In conference, she hit .350 with five runs scored.
"Tricia took advantage of the opportunity
presented to her and really ran with it," Head Coach
Connie Miner said.
Alvidrez (Bakersfield, CA) had an outstanding
season at the plate for the Highlanders. She finished 10th
in the conference in hitting at .338, eighth in slugging percentage
at .527, seventh in runs batted in with 34, eighth in doubles
with 10, and ninth in homers with seven. In conference play,
Alvidrez was second on the team with a .239 average. Her seven
RBI were second while her six doubles were the best during
the Big West campaign.
"Marissa's bat was tremendous, and
her appearance in the top-10 categories confirms that,"
Miner said.
The Highlanders finished the season at
16-37 overall and seventh in the very competitive Big West.
The conference sent five of their seven teams to the NCAA
Tournament, tying for the third highest total of bids among
conferences.
