Bevan honoured with Gold Glove

Former Surrey Storm softball star wins award for her work in the outfield with the Valley City State Vikings.

Slick-fielding softball player Hayley Bevan was honoured earlier this month for her skills on the diamond.

Bevan, a South Surrey native who is now a junior outfielder with the Valley City State Vikings in North Dakota, was named the Dakota Athletic Conference (DAC) Gold Glove recipient for the 2012 season.

Bevan, an alum of the Surrey Storm softball program, began the college fastpitch season in right field before making the switch, mid-season, to centre field.

She was unaffected by the change, and finished the year with a .967 fielding percentage, making just two errors in 60 chances.

The Gold Glove is the defensive award handed out to the DAC players with the highest fielding percentage at each position; three outfielders were chosen.
