North Carolina A&T softball standout Ryanne Hill added a pair of honors to her resume.

The sophomore from Charlotte (Independence High) was named third-team all-America by Easton Sports Inc. and the North Carolina Collegiate Sports Information Association voted her to the all-state team.

Hill was named MEAC player of the year last month and all-Southeast Region by the National Fast Pitch Coaches Association.
“She has a very good work ethic and her academics are excellent,’’ said A&T head softball coach Mamie Jones. “She is a true student-athlete. She is constantly in the books, and she works tirelessly in making herself an excellent softball player.”

NCCSIA selects all-state teams in NCAA Division I and college (Division II, III, NAIA) divisions.

Hill led the MEAC in runs batted in and doubles (15). She also ranked second in the MEAC in hits (60) and total bases (96). In two years at A&T, Hill has a .340 batting average with 83 RBIs and 11 home runs in 94 games.
