Henderson State University Athletics

The top pitcher in Reddie Softball history and one of the greatest in the history of the GAC, Michelle Sorensen was a five-year star for Henderson State in the circle. She is Henderson State’s all-time leader in wins (75), strikeouts (762), appearances (162), starts (118), and innings pitched (842.2), and led the Great American Conference in each of those statistical categories at the end of her career in 2019. She was a four-time All-GAC selection, a seven-time GAC Pitcher of the Week, a three-time All-Region selection, and was the first player in school history to be named NFCA National Player of the Week in 2017. Sorensen pitched five no-hitters in her career at Henderson State and once threw every pitch in a 19-inning 3-2 win for the Reddies in 2017 against Arkansas Tech, which remains the longest game in conference history. The Sherwood, Arkansas native was inducted into the Arkansas FastPitch Softball Hall of Fame upon her graduation in 2019.
