BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Following Indiana's spring break trip, three IU softball student-athletes earned Florida State Invitational All-Tournament team accolades. The Hoosiers went 6-0 en route to the title at the tournament and garnered their first title since 2004 (IU Classic).
Junior centerfielder Kim Richards earned Most Valuable Player of the tournament after registering seven hits, two doubles, two home runs and seven RBI during the six-game stretch. Senior pitcher Mariangee Bogado and senior right fielder Lauren Hines also received selections.
Bogado proved instrumental in the Hoosier title run, posting a 1.22 ERA while allowing only five earned runs through 28 2/3 innings of action. The senior also fanned 38 in the performance to also earn her Big Ten Pitcher of the Week laurels for the week ending March 12.
Hines led all Hoosiers' at the tournament with a .474 batting average, a .579 slugging percentage, nine hits, two doubles and two RBI.
Indiana continues its schedule with the IU Classis on March 25-26 in Bloomington.
