At the plate, she was 4-for-11 (.363) with two doubles, three runs batted in, and hit her second home run of the season in game one against Fairmont State. The McMinnville, Tenn. native is hitting .328 this season at the plate and has started all 42 games. In the circle, she owns a 9-10 record with a 3.78 ERA across 94.1 innings.
 
SLUGGING SHOWCASE
As a team, CU has raised its 2024 slugging percentage to .401 and now ranks fourth in the MEC. Hollis contributed two doubles against Frostburg State and a seventh-inning home run against Fairmont State. Junior outfielder Kayla McCraw hit her first career home run in the seventh inning of game two against Fairmont State Sunday. In the same game, junior infielder Courtney Raines slapped two doubles with junior infielder Kylee Stacy and graduate outfielder Jolie Privett adding one double each. In the last eight games, Concord has tallied 17 doubles, one triple, and three home runs. CU slugged a season-best six doubles in a 9-5 win over West Liberty earlier this month. Stacy, Raines, and Hollis all possess slugging percentages over .450 at the top of the Concord batting order. Raines leads the MEC with 16 doubles this spring and is ted for the eighth-most in Division II.
 
PAST WITH THE PIONEERS
Eight of the last ten contests between the Mountain Lions and the Pioneers have been decided by three runs or less dating back to the 2022 season. CU and GSU split the season series in 2022 with the home team sweeping the doubleheader in both meetings. Two of the four meetings in 2023 saw extra innings, as GSU prevailed 1-0 in eight innings at the Sue Morris Sports Complex. Three weeks later, CU walked off the Pioneers 1-0 in nine innings in Athens, with senior outfielder Imani Campbell scoring the game-winning run. When the teams met at the CU Softball Field in March, Glenville State was victorious 4-1 in game one, but Concord won game two, 4-2. Stacy collected three hits in game two, while Raines drove in two Mountain Lions runs.
