Daunhauer already has NCAA DII All-American credentials to highlight her career numbers and the former Great Midwest Freshman of the Year is picking up right where she left off.
As one of the key pieces to the puzzle for Kentucky Wesleyan’s conference title run and NCAA tournament appearance, the junior has proven to be one of the toughest outs for any pitcher to record leading the top of the order.
The Panthers are rolling as winners of six straight and seven of their last eight. KWC’s latest victims included Davenport, Dominican, Gannon (twice), Nyack, Concordia-St. Paul, and Saint Anselm.
Daunhauer hit .485 for the Panthers leading off, racking up 16 hits in 33 at-bats. She was successful on four stolen base attempts and scored six runs.
She had five multi-hit games, including three games with three singles in each for an on-base percentage of .485. In the 33 at-bats, she struck out just once.
Among all players in conference history with at least 250 at-bats and 200 plate appearances, Daunhauer is officially the Great Midwest’s batting leader at .439 (194-442). With almost two years to add numbers, she’s already third in hits (194), fifth in runs scored (98) and second in stolen bases (86).
