The NCAA has a new home run queen in Division I.
Oklahoma senior Jocelyn Alo today scored for the 96th time of her career, becoming the NCAA’s all-time record holder.
The 2017 Campbell High grad, who was twice Star Advertiser State Position Player of the Year in high school, did so in her third game at Rainbow Wahine Softball Stadium since winning a second straight state championship with the Sabers at high school School had won in 2017.
Alo drove a 2-1 pitch to right center against Hawaii pitcher Ashley Murphy in the sixth inning of tonight’s Bank of Hawaii Rainbow Classic game. UH Coach Bob Coolen presented Alo with a lei amid celebrations outside the Oklahoma dugout.
