GIBSONIA, PA – Hilbert College softball player Rachel Parker (Hamburg, NY/Hamburg) has been named a 2008 All-Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) selection. Parker lands on the first team after pacing the Hawks in seven different offensive categories including batting average (.424), doubles (17), homeruns (3), runs batted in (31), total bases (78), slugging percentage (.661), and on base percentage (.465).

Parker, who currently ranks fourth nationally in doubles, led the AMCC statistically and finished seventh in both batting average and runs batted in. The sophomore second baseman ranked eighth in slugging percentage, and her 33 runs scored was eighth best in the conference. Parker finishes the 2008 season with 50 hits tying teammate Laura Stranc (West Seneca, NY/West) and Lake Erie College’s Katie Puda for eighth place in that category.

Hilbert finished the 2008 campaign with an improved 9-27 record. Second-year head coach Kerry Levett will welcome back 12 scheduled returners next spring when the 2009 season gets under way.
