Mt. Hood softball alumni Ashley Lokey was selected a the Academy of Art University's Athelete of the Week

The hits kept coming for senior outfielder Ashley Lokey this past week. Now batting .400 on the season, Lokey offered two multi-hit games in the four-game series with Dixie State and one against Cal State Stanislaus earlier in the week to finish currently riding a six-game hit streak (10-for-19). She also had two home runs (both on day one versus Dixie), two triples (one in her 3-for-4 performance at Stanislaus and one in the series finale with DSC, and two doubles.

She is the team's leader in extra-base hits (13) this season and added five runs batted in, five runs scored, two walks, and a stolen base during the week. Arguably her biggest highlight was the three-run homer she blasted in game two of the series with Dixie.

“Lokey is the spark to our lineup and is doing a great job of getting things going for us,” head coach Rachel Sherman said. “She is off to another great start and I hope she is getting the recognition she deserves.”
