Editor's Note: Over the next 10 days, cumountainlions.com will be taking a look back at the top-10 most outstanding moments and achievements by Concord University teams and athletes during 2013.
When the Concord University softball team opened up the 2013 conference slate, then-senior
Becca Gleason was in hot pursuit of a career mark that had stood for 13 years.
At the beginning of the season, Gleason needed just 32 hits to pass Angela Mazella as the all-time hits leader in CU history. 23 games into the season Concord matched up against Ohio Valley with Gleason two hits short of breaking Mazella's career mark of 157 hits.
Gleason led off the game with a single before tying the record with another single to centerfield in the second inning.
The following inning Gleason got her record-breaking hit with a bunt single. Gleason would later score in the frame to stretch the Mountain Lions' lead to 6-1. CU went on to win the game 6-4.
Gleason collected 31 more hits throughout the rest of the 2013 season and finished her career with 188 hits.
Not only is Gleason the career leader in hits, but she also ranks in the top-5 for her career in games played (180-1st), runs scored (118-2nd), total bases (269-2nd), stolen bases (35-3rd) and runs batted in (78-5th).
