INDIANAPOLIS (June 13, 2022) – No Division II softball team was better at hitting triples in 2022 than Oklahoma Christian, according to the NCAA's unofficial statistical list for the just-completed season.

OC led Division II in both overall triples (34) and triples per game (0.63) while the Eagles posted a 39-15 record and earned their third straight trip to the NCAA Division II tournament. Teams from the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference finished second nationally in those categories – Regis (Colo.) had 33 triples while Adams State (Colo.) averaged 0.59 triples per game.

Nine Eagles hit at least one triple during the season, with three players combining for 22. Sophomores Brooklin Bain and Kylie Janzen each had eight triples while sophomore Tristyn Hamilton had six.

Bain and Janzen finished tied for fourth nationally in overall triples, just two behind the Division II leader, Sami Edwards of Colorado Christian. Bain recorded her eight triples in only 42 games and ranked second in Division II in triples per game at 0.19, trailing only Alaijah Pratt of Virginia State, who had 0.23 triples per game (seven, in 31 games).

OC will take Division II's third-longest home winning streak into the 2023 season, as the Eagles won their final 17 games of the 2022 campaign at Tom Heath Field. Only Division II champion Rogers State (28) and Washburn (Kan.) (26) have longer home-field winning streaks.
