5/1/2024 9:00:00 PM

The Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) announced its all conference softball teams on Wednesday. Three Prairie Stars were named to the second team: Ella Brinkley, Isabella Wilson, and Adi Rumler.

Ella Brinkley, Jr., 3B
Brinkley ranks fourth in the GLVC in runs scored (47) and triples (5), and fifth in batting average (.386) and hits (64). The leadoff hitter has a .466 on base percentage in 54 starts this season and was successful in stealing twelve bases. Brinkley slugged .572 with a total of eighteen extra-base hits. She was named to the league's third team in 2023.

One of Brinkley's best performances of the season came in late March when she started off with a home run against the Quincy Hawks. She totaled three hits, two runs scored, and one RBI in the 8-3 win.

Isabella Wilson, Jr. OF
Wilson has been named Second Team All-GLVC in consecutive seasons. The junior started 50 games, hitting .366 and adding a team-best 18 doubles to the team's offensive efforts. She also leads all Prairie Stars with 32 RBI. The outfielder tallied 134 putouts on 141 chances with just three errors for a .979 fielding percentage.

Wilson was the GLVC player of the week after the Blue Bridge Battle in late February. She had 5 RBIs on two hits in a run-rule win over Ashland on the way to slashing .583 AVG / .643 OBP / .667 SLG at the tournament.

Adi Rumler, Fr., UT-NP
Rumler, a freshman from Lincoln, Ill., also boasts an above-.300 average of .366. She has started 32 of 43 games played this spring, tallying 30 hits and 17 RBI. In one of her best performances this season, she went 3-3 with a double and 2 RBIs and scored two runs against the Maryville Saints. Often seen in right field or 1b/2b, Rumler added up 62 putouts on 73 chances with eight assists and just three errors.

Sophie Margelot is the James R Spadling Sportsmanship Honoree for UIS.
