ASU Softball's Hillary Bach Named Pac-12 Woman of the Year

Her heralded collegiate pitching career may be over, but that does not stop the honors from coming in for Arizona State's Hillary Bach.

On Monday, Bach was named the Pac-12's Woman of the Year, becoming the first Sun Devil to receive the award. The honor recognizes her not only for her on-field prowess, but her contributions in the community and in the classroom.

Last season, she posted a 22-1 record with a 1.51 ERA, including a perfect game against Wichita State on March 4th. For her career, she was 88-20 and finished second in school history in wins.

She was also an excellent student, graduating in under four years and being named a three-time First Team Pac-12 All-Academic player. She was also the recipient of a prestigious Tillman Scholarship, and served as President for the ASU Student Athlete Advisory Committee.

She currently is pitching for the Akron Racers of the National Pro Fastpitch league.
