SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- Three days removed from the SCAC Softball Championships hosted by Trinity University, freshman third baseman Jennifer McKinley and freshman shortstop Sam Hill were recognized for their individual efforts by garnering 2007 All-SCAC Tournament Team accolades along with 10 other student-athletes.

McKinley, a native of Frisco, Texas, batted a clean .500 (6-for-12) with a team-leading 12 total bases, five RBIs and four runs scored while holding a 1.000 slugging percentage and an on-base percentage of .500. She also hit home runs No. 5 and 6 over the leftfield fence
in Saturday's 12-11 loss to Hendrix to tie an SCAC tournament single-game record.

A product of Birmingham, Ala., and 1 of 5 freshmen on this year's squad, Hill went 4-for-8 (.500) with four total bases, three RBIs, three stolen bases in three attempts and one run. Hill also drew a pair of walks and held a team-leading .636 on-base percentage.

The pair become the first dual selections to the All-SCAC Tournament Team since first baseman Amanda Stevens and designated hitter Kati Fleming landed on the 2005 team.

Centre led the way with four selections to the 2007 SCAC All-Tournament Team while Trinity had three, DePauw University and Millsaps both had two and Hendrix had one.
