SEWARD, Neb. – The bat of Hhana Haro has heated up along with the weather in Nebraska. On Tuesday (April 16), the sophomore slugger was named the GPAC/Hauff Mid-America Sports Softball Player of the Week. Concordia has pulled this award in three times in the past four weeks with Tori Homolka also earning two consecutive GPAC Player of the Week honors.
The 2018 GPAC Player of the Year, Haro enjoyed a 10-for-20 week over six conference games that all took place in Sioux City, Iowa. During that stretch, Haro also scored five runs, drove in nine runs, doubled and homered. The native of Garden Grove, Calif., extended her hitting streak to nine while also pushing her season batting average to .415 (sixth best among GPAC players). From a team perspective, the Bulldogs rebounded from two losses at Morningside by sweeping doubleheaders from Briar Cliff and Mount Marty.
Haro has put together a remarkable first 67 games of her college career. To date, she owns career rates of .466 in batting average, .508 in on-base percentage and .708 in slugging percentage. She has totaled 110 hits, 26 doubles, nine home runs and 66 RBIs.
Haro and company will be back in action today (April 16) with a doubleheader at No. 20 Midland. First pitch is set for 3 p.m. CT from Fremont, Neb.
