NEWBERRY — Newberry College softball player Myranda Dills was named the 2017 South Atlantic Conference Softball Elite 18 honoree.

The Elite 18 award honors the student-athlete with the top cumulative grade-point average based on a minimum of 48 credit hours who is competing at the final site of each of the SAC’s 18 team championship sports. The honor is modeled after the NCAA’s Elite 90 award.

Dills is a sophomore nursing major from Chesnee, S.C. who carries a 4.0 GPA. She is currently batting .330 and has made 34 starts at first base for the Wolves. Dills has also notched 23 RBIs and 19 runs scored.

Sam Hall, a junior offensive lineman on the Newberry football team, also won an Elite 18 award last November.
