MIAC RELEASE

SAINT PAUL, MINN.—Hamline University softball senior infielder Megan Rubbelke was named March 21 MIAC Softball Player of the Week. This is Rubbelke's first career MIAC Player of the Week nod. She is the first Piper to land the honor since April 22, 2019, when Alex Molloy earned the distinction.

Rubbelke notched at least one hit in each of the nine games, which included a 2-for-4 outing with a home run in an 8-4 loss to Simpson on March 17.
 
For the season, Megan owns a team-leading .545 slugging percentage, 10 RBI, 10 runs scored, and three doubles. She ranks second on the team with a .409 (18-of-44) batting average through 13 games played.
