CLEVELAND – Sophomore right-hander/designated player Jessica Holliday will continue her softball career at the next level, earning a walk-on spot at Delta State University last week.

A 2015 MACJC All-State selection, Holliday went 10-2 with a 1.77 ERA this season, while throwing four complete games, two shutouts and earning one save in 71.1 innings of work. At the plate, Holliday hit .357 with three doubles, two home runs and 14 RBIs. 

The Eudora native was a .307 lifetime hitter for the Rangers and went 14-5 with a 1.90 ERA, six combined shutouts, 78 strikeouts and only 11 walks in 34 career appearances in the circle.

Prior to Northwest, Holliday compiled a 55-15 career record for Lake Cormorant High School, finishing with a 1.23 ERA for the Lady Gators. She earned four all-conference and team MVP selections, while also earning all-state, all-metro and BankPlus Player of the Week honors throughout her high school career. 

Holliday is the fifth Ranger since 2010 to join the DSU roster, following in the footsteps of Katelyn Westbrook, Kayla Wilson, Lauren Kendall and Angela Carden. 

Delta State finished the 2015 season at 27-24 overall, ending the season with a 1-0 loss to Alabama-Huntsville in the Gulf South Conference Tournament.
