Lady Panther softball team center fielder Rosaline Ash currently ranks 27th in the NCAA statistics in the toughest to strike out category. Ash has recorded 128 plate appearances, striking out just six times for a 21.3 percent average. Ash, a three-year starter for the Lady Panthers, has contributed much both on and off the field.”Rosaline is an extremely unselfish player that has the versatility to play infield or outfield,” said head coach Raymond Burgess. “As a senior, she has shown great leadership, and that rubs off on our younger players.”
Ash currently ranks in the top four in the Southwestern Athletic Conference in four categories. She is first in hits with 52, first in runs scored with 39, tied for first place in triples with four and ranks third in total bases.
“The type of numbers Rosaline is putting up really doesn’t surprise me,” said Burgess. “She has taken her game to another level and she has set her personal goals aside for the betterment of our team.
