Huntington University softball coach Doug Gower
announced that Norwell High School standout, Melissa Werling, has
signed a Letter of Intent to play softball for the
Foresters next year.
The
catcher earned Third Team All-State honors as a junior and received First
Team All-Conference
honors in the Northeast Hoosier Conference as a sophomore and junior. As a Knight, Werling holds eight career offensive records which include most runs
(125), hits (111), triples (14) and home runs (8). She also
tops Norwell's career record books with 53 walks, 106 stolen bases,
a .551 slugging percentage and a .448 on base average.
Gower is
excited about the skills and abilities Werling brings to the
program. "Melissa is an excellent athlete who will bring
quickness and aggressive play to the Foresters' line-up. She
has the potential to be a very good player for us. We're glad to
have her join our program." |
