A first-team All-Midwest Region honoree by the NFCA as well as Daktronics, Dorsam led the Screaming Eagles and was sixth in the Great Lakes Valley Conference with a .388 batting average in 2014. In addition, she led USI with 54 hits, 34 runs, 31 RBIs, while also tallying eight doubles, one triple, and four home runs.
Defensively, Dorsam split time between second base, shortstop, and catcher, totaling 165 putouts and 65 assists while committing just seven errors. She also played a game at first base early in the season.
“What an honor for MacKenzi,” USI Head Coach Sue Kunkle said. “Her coaches and teammates are extremely proud of her!
“At the beginning of the year, MacKenzi made goals for herself and one of them was to get first-team All-Region honors so she could qualify (for the national ballot) and hopefully earn an All-America honor,” Kunkle continued. “She is an exceptional player who has worked hard to better herself as a player each year and is excited to bring even better things to this program next year.”
The Dubois, Indiana, native garnered second-team All-Midwest Region honors by Daktronics and the NFCA last year as the Eagles advanced to the NCAA II Tournament. She was named second-team All-GLVC East Division honors each of the last two seasons.
USI finished the 2014 season with a 22-23 overall record and a 12-22 mark in the GLVC, good for sixth in an East Division that saw two teams advance to the NCAA II Midwest Region Tournament.
