MONMOUTH, Ill. – Three Monmouth College softball players were recently honored by the Midwest Conference coaches.

The three seniors - shortstop Nicole Auclair (Darien, Ill./Hinsdale South), pitcher/second baseman Heather Burrows (Lewistown, Ill./HS) and third baseman Michelle Meyer (Mapleton, Ill./Illini Bluffs) - were named to the All-Conference team.

Auclair earned her third All-MWC honor while leading the team in batting average (.391), RBI (20) and doubles (nine). Her 13 career home runs ranks her third in school history.

Burrows picked up her second selection to the team. The versatile senior was forced to add shortstop to her resumé when injured forced the short-handed Scots to get “creative” with their lineup. Burrows, who didn’t go out for the team until her junior year, led the team in hits (32) and total bases (42).

Named to the team for the second consecutive year was Meyer. The veteran third baseman turned in team-leading performances in runs scored (26) and walks (20). Both Meyer and Burrows led the team in games played (34).

A biology/biochemistry major, Auclair is the daughter of Omer and Janet Auclair of Darien.

Burrows, a sports management major, is the daughter of Toni Burrows and Brad Burrows, both of Lewistown.

Meyer, an accounting/business major, is the daughter of Robert Meyer and Nancy Meyer, both of Mapleton.
