LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. - Junior second baseman Rachel Park has been named to the NFCA/Louisville Slugger All-Northeast Region Second Team. Park led the Orangewomen in 2003 with a .382 batting average, the second-highest in SU's four seasons of play.
Park is the fourth player in the last two seasons to earn all-region recognition for the Orangewomen. She set career highs with 52 hits, 22 runs scored, 10 doubles, four home runs, a .544 slugging percentage and a .408 on-base percentage. Park was also second on the team with 22 runs batted in. Following the season, Park was named the team's Most Valuable Player.
Park earned BIG EAST Player of the Week honors on February 24 after hitting two home runs at the UNLV Tournament. She had two hits in the season-opener to extend her hitting streak to a school-record 11. Park twice tied the school record with four hits in a game, becoming the first Orangewoman to have multiple four-hit games in her career. She also set the SU single-game marks with four runs scored and five driven in versus Siena on April 24.
The Orangewomen finished the 2003 campaign with a 17-25 overall record and a 7-13 mark in the BIG EAST.
