WEEKLY SPOTLIGHT:  Former Bishop standout takes softball talent overseas

Rocky Mount, NC - Over the past four seasons, former Bishop Courtney Tucker made a name for herself as a standout player for the North Carolina Wesleyan softball program.  This past year alone, she was a First Team USA South All-Conference selection, a Second Team All-Region selection, and named her squad's Most Valuable Player.  Additionally, Tucker earned the prestigious North Carolina Wesleyan Female Athlete of the Year award and was a USA South nominee for NCAA Woman of the Year. 

 

It didn't take long, however, for Tucker (pictured) to make a name for herself elsewhere... specifically in Cologne, Germany as a member of the World Sport International Stars Softball Club.

 

Tucker joined the Stars overseas from July 19th to July 30th to compete in the 19th annual Apeledoorn Series.  Playing first base for the U.S. squad, Tucker helped her team to an undefeated showing and first place finish.  Most impressively, she led all players with seven runs batted in. 

 

"It was awesome," said Tucker. "I give thanks to God, my parents, and the NCWC family for preparing me for this experience.  Go U.S.A!"
