Central's Davis wins conference honor

PELLA—Central College softball player Angela Davis (freshman, West Des Moines, Valley HS) has been named the Iowa Conference female athlete of the week.

Davis, a second baseman, helped lead the Dutch to a 10-0 week at the Tucson Invitational Games in Arizona. She hit .419 with 13 hits, 10 runs, two doubles, two walks and eight RBIs in 10 games while posting a .486 on-base percentage, a .548 slugging percentage and a .969 fielding percentage.

Davis delivered a two-out, two-run hit in the sixth inning Friday for the tying runs as part of a six-run rally in Central’s come-from-behind 6-4 upset victory over No. 2-ranked Wis.-Eau Claire, the defending NCAA Division III champions.

Central is 15-1 overall and is riding a 13-game win streak. The Dutch open Iowa Conference play Saturday at Mount Vernon with a league doubleheader against Cornell College.
