News and Notes from the First Nine Days of April

Baseball 
Senior second baseman Ethan Underwood continues to climb the baseball record books. 
His 146 hits is tied for fourteenth with current assistant Dahlton Cash (Zach Wall's 185 is tenth). 
His 131 runs scored is the new seventh-best mark, moving past Zach Bricknell (sixth is Jackson Jones with 142). 
And his 80 walks extends his fifth-best mark, which was previously held by Spencer Thomas with 77. Dom Wyshinski, with 86, is currently in fourth. 


Men's Lacrosse
Junior faceoff specialist/midfielder Jacob Haas already has possession of the third-most career ground balls across both teams with 178 but he can set another milestone later this season, as he needs just 17 to move past Zac Barrett and into second on the men's side. 


Women's Lacrosse
Junior Kinsley Purser was only able to tally one goal in Saturday's game but it was her thirty-fifth of the season- extending a season high- and the 76th of her career (Hayley Bartlett's tenth-best mark of 82 is six away). With 60 assists, which moves past Anna Luckie's 59 for fourth, she now has 136 career points, which ties Rachel Lepine for eighth. And with 192 draw controls, she needs just five to move into second in program history. Kinsley Purser, with 117, is now tied for seventh. 


Softball 
Welcome to the 100 Club, Shea Bayreuther! The junior infielder tallied that milestone during the solo game against North Georgia on Sunday, April 2nd and currently has 103 appearances.

Starting a 200 Club: Softball

Jackson Jones is a member of this club as he's appeared 204 times for the baseball team. In this blog post, though, I'm looking to add names to the list and I'm starting with the softball alumni.  Grace Botti appeared 222 times between 2016 and 2019  Murphy Davis appeared 214 times between 2015 and 2018 Sarah Magill appeared 205 times between 2013 and 2016  Chandler Stooksbury appeared 208 times between 2014 and 2017  Jill Torres appeared 244 times between 2017 and 2021 Haylie Shope , if pitcher and first base appearances are separate, had 183 appearances at first base and 34 in the circle for 217 total. We then add 47 appearances in basketball and she appeared 264 times overall between 2018 and 2021 (she's in the 200 club with the 47 basketball games played as she's at 230 without the pitching appearances).  So thus far, this is the 200 Club: Grace Botti Murphy Davis Jackson Jones Sarah Magill  Haylie Shope  Chandler Stooksbury Jill Torres

Women's Lacrosse: Career Goals Update

If the season is over (and if she's not returning for her grad year), senior attacker Ashlyn Fraley will finish up a 71-game Young Harris career with 136 goals, the fifth-most in Mountain Lion women's lacrosse history. Only Nicole Kernohan, Kendra Parenteau, Taylor Greenberg and Ella Hancock have scored more.   *It's worth noting, however, that Fraley is the only person in the top five in terms of goals to need less than 200 shots on goal to get her goals- she only need 199 shots on target, so she scored on an impressive 68% of her shots on frame.
