Back to All Stories

Hamilton, NY — Senior shortstop (Palmdale, CA/Highland H.S.) cracked her 20th career home run Saturday to become ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ’s all-time home run hitter.  Rawson, who has six home runs this season, passed former ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ slugger Amanda Paolucci (1999-02) into first place.

Rawson is now setting her sights on the Patriot League record of 21 set by Kim Miller of Lehigh between 1993-96.

With her sixth homer Rawson also became only the second player in ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ history to drive in 100 runs.

She is ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ’s all-time leader in runs scored, hits, doubles, home runs and total bases.

Rawson is a three-time all-Patriot League first baseman before moving to shortstop this season.
