OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - The Amateur Softball Association announced on Wednesday that Utah's Hannah Flippen has been invited to play for the USA Softball Women's Elite Team. Flippen's mother, Mary Lou, is a former member of the National Team.
The accolades keep rolling in for the junior second baseman that was also named Pac-12 Player of the Year and tabbed as a member of the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-Region First Team. Flippen has also earned spots on the All Pac-12 First Team, Pac-12 All-Defensive Team and CoSIDA Academic All-District squad.
Flippen led the league with a .542 batting average, a 1.034 slugging percentage and a .667 on-base percentage. She was also second in a number of categories including total bases (61), walks (21), runs scored (24), hits (32) and stolen bases (7). Flippen also finished third in the conference with eight homers.
For her career, she owns the highest batting average of any Ute ever at .382 (Cyndee Bennett, .371, 1994-97) and is fourth all-time with 151 runs scored.
Flippen becomes the first Ute to have the opportunity to wear the Red, White and Blue. She will begin training June 12-16, in Oklahoma City, and then participate in the World Cup of Softball in OKC (July 5-10).
