Grill, Doornberg Earn SEC Honors
5/6/2009 | Softball
Grill, a second-team selection a year ago, is only the second player in school history to be named All-SEC twice in her career joining former Rebel Amanda Fine, who earned the honor in 1997 and 1998. A first team All-America pick last year by Louisville Slugger, Grill led the Rebels with 10 doubles, 10 home runs, 32 RBI and a .608 slugging percentage on the year. Her 10 long balls this season give her 36 for her career and places her just 13 behind DeDe Justice’s school record of 49.

Doornberg started 42 games for Ole Miss this season and finished tied for the team lead with six steals. She batted .274 in conference play, which was the fifth-highest mark among freshmen, and finished third on the team with 10 runs scored in SEC action.
“This is a big honor for Corrine,” Dickerson said. “She is the first player since Ashley and Lauren to earn All-Freshman honors and shows how much talent she has. We are looking for her to continue to get better and expect big things from her.”
