WICHITA, Kan. – For the first time and likely not the last, Friends University softball student-athlete Priscilla Mora has been voted as the KCAC Softball Player of the Week, the conference office announced today (Mar. 7).
Mora, the Falcons' leading home run hitter, continued her breakout freshman campaign by slugging the squad to a 4-1 record at this past weekend's Friends Invitational.
A native of Beaumont, Calif., Mora hit an astounding .563 along with a 1.313 slugging percentage at the plate while hitting three homers and driving in nine runs, highlighted by a two-homer and four-RBI performance that fueled a 15-2 rout of Briar Cliff University.
Mora currently leads the Falcons in hitting (.452), homers (five), RBIs (17), slugging percentage (.905) and runs (12).
"Priscilla has really come alive this spring as a freshman starter!" said Friends softball head coach Suzanne Unruh. "I expect nothing but success for "P" this season!"
Weather permitting, the 7-6 Falcons are next scheduled to host No. 20-ranked Morningside College Thursday (Mar. 10) starting at 4 pm at the Two Rivers Youth Complex. The Falcons will then compete over the weekend at the McPherson Round Robin in McPherson, Kan.
