For two years prior to this, the Highland softball team has been riding the back of pitcher Megan Hoenig. In each of her last two seasons, Hoenig sported 18+ starts, 100+ innings and a sub-three ERA, and was even named to the all-state team last season. This year saw more of the same.
Though the team had a down year as a whole this season, Hoenig continued to shine through her junior campaign. She kept her ERA at below three yet again, her 127.2 innings were the fourth-most in the conference, and she set a new career high in strikeouts with 103.
Hoenig’s successes this season earned her a place on the second all-Superconference team. She’ll be back next year for her senior season.
