Dallas Tilley is bringing her ‘reckless abandon’ to the SFU Clan line-up.
The outfielder/utility infielder is set to join the Clan women’s softball team for the 2016/17 season.
She is in her second season with the Douglas College Royals, where she hit .547 in conference games during the 2015 season and .430 overall as the team won the 2015 NWAC North Region Conference championship.
Tilley was selected a second team all-star.
“Dallas will bring us some immediate experience as a college transfer,” said Clan head coach Mike Renney.
“She is known for her reckless abandon in her outfield play, always willing, ready and able to dive for the ball when needed.”
Tilly helped her club team, the Surrey Storm, to a second place finish at the 2012 Canadian national championships.
And last summer, she was among the final 28 players selected from regional camps held across Canada to try out for Canada’s junior national team.
Prior to joining Douglas College, Tilley was a multi-sport star for Walnut Grove Secondary, where she played soccer, basketball, volleyball and track and field.
“I loved each of the sports I played in different ways but I realized that softball was the one sport that I would miss the most, which is why I chose to play it in post-secondary.”
