WHITELAND, IN – Whiteland Community High School graduate Lauren Prohl recently signed her National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Letter of Intent to play softball at Ancilla College.
Prohl turned in 61 2/3 innings of work for the Warriors in her fourth year on varsity and turned in a 3.63 ERA, striking out 40 in the process. She also hit .309 with a .381 slugging percentage and .710 OPS. Her travel ball accolades include a World Series MVP in 2011 and a 16U State Championship. Currently she is playing for the Angels and Coach Bryan Gill.
“I had a lot of other choices,” said Prohl, “but after visiting Ancilla and meeting the staff and players I knew it was the right place for me.”
“In the short time I’ve known Lauren, I’ve been impressed with her character and resolve,” started Ancilla coach Scott Reese. “Those traits along with her high softball IQ will play huge dividends for her at the next level. She has proven a lot on the diamond up to this point and I look forward to seeing her continued development. I am excited that she has decided to join the Ancilla softball family.”
Lauren is the daughter of Melanie Alvarez of Indianapolis and plans on majoring in Criminal Justice while at Ancilla.
