NEW YORK - Seton Hall softball freshman Taylor Hill (Little Falls, N.J.) has been named the BIG EAST Freshman of the Week for the second time this season, the conference office announced Monday. Hill batted .571 (4-for-7) with a triple, two runs scored, a walk, a stolen base and an RBI in Seton Hall's doubleheader sweep at St. John's this past Sunday, the only games the Pirates played during the week.
Hill now has the two Freshman of the Week honors as well as BIG EAST Player of the Week on April 18 and two spots on BIG EAST weekly honor rolls this season.
In game one's 5-4 Pirates win, Hill scored what proved to be the game-winning run when she came home on a two-run single from fellow freshman Jenna Blevins (Flat Rock, Mich.), and then in game two, a 4-2 Seton Hall win, she went 3-for-3 with an RBI triple and scored a run in the seventh inning with a nifty slide to avoid the tag at the plate.
Hill was dominant for the Pirates in BIG EAST play, hitting .449 with three home runs, 12 doubles, one triple, 15 runs scored and 25 RBI in 23 conference games. In conference only statistics, she led the league in base hits (35) and doubles (12) and was second in batting average (.449), third in RBI (25) and total bases (58), sixth in slugging (.744), seventh in on-base percentage (.476).
When counting all games, Hill still ranks tied for first in the BIG EAST in doubles (15), fourth in RBI (36), seventh in batting average (.373) and ninth in slugging (.612).
