MONMOUTH, Ill. —
Monmouth College senior shortstop Emily Willems (Moline, Ill./Rockridge)
helped the Fighting Scots to their first Midwest Conference
tournament berth since 2004 and was named the MWC Performer of the
Week.
In a make or break game against the Grinnell Pioneers Sunday,
Willems delivered for the Senior Day crowd in a dramatic 5-4
come-from-behind victory that punched the Scots’ ticket to the
postseason. Her third hit of the day, a two out double drove in
Ashley Parer (Rock Island, Ill./Rock Island) with the tying run.
Willems scored from second one batter later when Anna Coutts’ (Ladd,
Ill./Hall) ground ball was mishandled. She picked up two more hits
in the nightcap, including her 34th career triple as the Scots
completed the sweep with a 6-2 win.
For the week, Willems hit .429 with a .571 slugging percentage
and six runs scored.
