Overall for the season Vates had 48 hits while batting .444 and drove in 32 runs, scored 25 times and also belted 7 home runs and had 13 doubles. She led the Griffins in pretty much every offensive category on the season.

 Also being selected for First-Team from Southwestern College was Cassie Van Til out of Patrick Henry for her all around playing prowess.
