UNM softball’s Hathoot named Mountain West Player of the Week

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- Rachael Hathoot was named the Mountain West Player of the Week.

She was a beast for UNM softball, batting .800 with five RBIs and a home run.

She also played second base and catcher.

Hathoot, a graduate of La Cueva, said it’s been a process learning how to play in Division One.

"Last year was a growing year but this year was even more growing year," she said. "I struggled a little bit in the beginning, and I’ve been a little hot and cold but I feel like this past weekend was a big breakthrough and it should only be up from here."
