Rebolledo leads seven Wolverines on All-WAC Teams

OREM, Utah — Linnah Rebolledo was named to the All-WAC First Team and leads seven Utah Valley University players to receive All-WAC honors, the league announced on Wednesday.
 
Devyn Cretz, Rien Milliken and Basia Query were all named to the second team while Kyla Hardy, Emery Nielson and Siena Sandoval received honorable mention All-WAC recognition.
 
Rebolledo leads the WAC with 44 runs scored and is also third with 41 RBIs, tied for fifth with 53 hits, and tied for second — with Query — with five triples. She's having a career year nearly across the board with a .346 batting average and eight home runs. 21 of her 53 hits have gone for extra bases.
 
Cretz, who was named the WAC Pitcher of the Week for the fourth time in her career on Monday, is second among all WAC pitchers with 14 wins and 119 strikeouts, and she leads the conference with four saves and ranks sixth with a 3.53 ERA.
 
Milliken, in her first full season in a Wolverine uniform, leads the team with nine home runs and has also driven in 36 runs while batting .331. She homered twice and drove in seven runs during a doubleheader sweep earlier this season at Boise State.
 
Query is batting .335 with a career-high six home runs and five triples and is tied with Rebolledo for the team lead with 53 hits. She became the program's all-time hits leader in last Saturday's regular season finale against Tarleton on a walk-off home run in the final plate appearance of her home career.
 
Hardy, whose pair of three-run home runs ended BYU's 16-game win streak earlier this season, is batting .289 with seven home runs and 34 runs batted in. She also leads the team and is tied for fourth in the WAC with 13 doubles. Nielson is hitting .280 overall and has upped that average to .370 in WAC play. Sandoval is batting .310 with eight home runs and 30 RBIs and homered twice in the series at New Mexico State.
