Lancaster Bible College announces Chargers Snag Four on United East All-Conference Honors
From May 10, 2023 post.
The United East Conference released their All-Conference teams, Major Award Winners, and Honors on Wednesday morning, with the Lancaster Bible College softball team landing four student-athletes, with two on the First Team All-Conference and two on the Second Team All-Conference.
Leading the charge was junior shortstop Phoebe Clemens, who finished hitting a team best .458 from the batter's box and fourth-best in the entire conference. The junior raked in 54 hits, setting a program record and landing her third in the conference, including 15 hits for extra bases while bringing in 39 runs batted in. Clemens also scored 37 times herself, only striking out four times the entire season. She was also dangerous on the base path, stealing 20 total bases, ranking second in the conference. The most impressive feat of Clemens this season is finding herself in the top ten of the conference on just about every statistic possible.
Joining Clemens on the first team is graduate student and Chargers outfielder Hannah Lieb. Lieb is ranked in the top ten of the conference in both batting average and slugging percentage, batting .406 for the year. She was also third on the team with 39 hits while scoring 22 runs herself. Her on-base percentage was also ranked in the top ten for the conference, finishing at a .447 and seventh on the list. Lieb was a key outfielder and slugger for the Chargers, hitting three triples and tallying 48 putouts.
Senior first baseman Chloe King concluded her 2023 season being an integral part of the Charger defense, including a total of 215 putouts and a fielding percentage of .987, both ranking in the top ten of the conference. King was also a key contributor offensively, bringing in 26 runs for fifth in the conference and hitting a monster five home runs for third in the conference.
Junior outfielder Alyssa Hamilton rounds out the post-season awards for the Chargers, landing on the second team as an outfielder. Joining Clemens and Lieb, the junior found herself in the top ten of the conference for several different categories, including 40 hits and 27 total runs scored. 13 of those 40 hits were also doubles this season, seventh in the conference. While she was a dominant outfielder with 37 putouts and 26 assists, she was also a key factor in the Chargers' pitching as the starting pitcher. She pitched a total of 123 innings, striking out 42 batters and finishing with a 3.76 earned run average, all in the top ten of the conference.
