Senior SS picks up another award after hitting .647 last weekend
Bowling Green State University softball standout Aspen Searle has picked up another award after her stellar start to the 2018 season. One day after being named the Mid-American Conference Player of the Week, Searle was named the MAC's Female Scholar-Athlete of the Week.
Searle earns the S-A-O-W honor for the first time in her Falcon career.
Searle, a native of Brantford, Ontario (Bishop Tonnos), hit an otherworldly .647 last weekend, going 11-for-17 in five games – all wins – at the Cleveland State Dome Invitational. Searle led the Falcons in batting average and hits, as well as runs scored (10), slugging percentage (1.059) and on-base pct. (.700). Searle had two four-hit games on the weekend, and had at least one hit in all five games. She had four extra-base hits and no strikeouts on the weekend.
Searle had a double and scored two of BG's four runs in the season-opening win over Niagara on Friday afternoon. Then, that evening, she went 4-for-4 at the plate against host Cleveland State with another double, two more runs scored and an RBI.
On Saturday, Searle had an RBI triple and scored a run in a shutout win over Niagara, then had a hit, two walks and two runs in another shutout, this time against Canisius.
She capped her stellar weekend with her second four-hit contest in five games, going 4-for-4 vs. Robert Morris. Her two-run homer in the top of the first inning gave BGSU a 3-0 lead after just three batters, and the Falcons were well on their way to an 8-1 win. Searle reached base five times, with the homer, three singles, a hit-by-pitch, three runs scored and two RBI.
The homer was the 20th of Searle's career. She ranks sixth in school history in that category, and is rapidly moving up many of BGSU's career lists.
In the classroom, Searle has a 3.7 cumulative grade-point average. She is a psychology major with a minor in human development & family studies.
The MAC Scholar-Athlete-of-the-Week award is given to just one male and one female student-athlete -- across all sports -- in the conference each week.
Searle and the Falcons are 5-0 on the young season, the program's best start in 12 years. BGSU heads to North Carolina to play five games in this weekend's Elon Softball Classic. The Falcons are scheduled to play two games against the host school along with single games vs. North Texas, Rhode Island and Mount St. Mary's.
