- LOUIS – A member of this year’s senior class was recognized when the Missouri Valley Conference announced its 2022 Preseason Softball Poll on Friday.
Haley Woolf was named to the 2022 MVC Preseason All-Conference Team as she begins her fourth season with the Purple Aces. One of the top sluggers in the conference, Woolf finished the 2021 campaign with five home runs, 20 RBI and 15 walks. The MVC Player of the Week on May 3 hit three homers and tallied nine RBI in a sweep over Bradley last spring.
The Blue Springs, Mo. native played in 39 games as a junior, making 38 starts with the majority coming at first base. In the shortened 2020 season, she tied for 5th in the conference in home runs while finishing fourth with 18 RBI.
Along with the preseason all-conference team, the league revealed the preseason poll, which saw the Purple Aces tabbed to finish 8th in the conference, just three points behind Bradley and eight behind 6th place Illinois State.
Evansville will begin the 2022 campaign in just two weeks with a trip to Monroe, Louisiana for the Best on the Bayou Classic.
