In her fifth year at Bradley, Grace French has once again been named to the MVC All-Conference Second Team, as well as the All-Defensive Team.
French's bat was the definition of hot this season. Throughout the five tournaments Bradley played in, along with a doubleheader against SIUE, French hit .417 before conference play even began. In the second game of the season, French showed her experience, going 2-3 with two runs scored, a single, a home run and two RBI against New Mexico State. French would continue her hot bat at The Knights Classic in Orlando, hitting a solo shot to center against Purdue that put the Braves ahead in the game.
