The Georgetown women’s softball team completed an unprecedented five-game win streak last week, due largely to sophomore Samantha Peters. The starting shortstop for the Hoyas has been a force the entire year, posting nice numbers and leading the team in just about every offensive category. Through forty-two games this season, Peters has hit .391 with ten homers and thirty-three runs batted in. As if those stats were not impressive enough, she also leads the team with 15 stolen bases and has posted an on-base percentage of .443. She is currently on pace to record the greatest season in the three year history of the Georgetown University softball program.
Last weekend at the Bully Bash Tournament at Mississippi State, Peters continued her stellar play and was named to the all-tournament team. Over the course of the four games, Peters hit .417 with two homers and drove in four. The team finished the tournament at 2-2 with strong wins over the Delta Devils of Mississippi Valley State.
As the Hoyas roll on toward the end of their season, it will be up to Peters to continue her career year. If she can keep firing on all cylinders, there is no reason why the Hoyas would not be able to continue their remarkable season. After all, they’ve already broken the program’s season win record.
