Emory Softball Places 15 On UAA 30th Anniversary Team

The Emory University softball program has placed 15 players on the University Athletic Association's 30th anniversary team.  The announcement was made by the league office earlier this week.

The 30th Anniversary Team consists of each student-athlete who was named Player of the Year or accumulated five or more points in her career, with two points awarded for All-Association first-team recognition, and one point for second-team honors.

Seven Eagles earned automatic spots by virtue of being named the league's MVP, highlighted by Megan Light who garnered the honor on three occasions (2011, 2013 & 2014). Other former standouts who were tabbed as MVP included Melissa Roberts (2001), Nicole Kovski (2002), Tamara Boggs (2003), Bridget Holloway (2012) and Brittany File (2016). Roberts landed All-Association acclaim four times (2000-03) as did Cassie Walsh (2007-10) and Kim Bandy (2006-09).
