The Palo Alto, Calif., native earned a spot on the Academic
All-America third team after receiving Academic All-District first
team honors earlier this year. She boasts a 3.49 grade-point
average as a psychology concentrator at Harvard.
Alexander, the Ivy League Co-Player of the Year, saved her
breakout year for her senior season. The top hitter on the
league's top offensive team, she led the Ivy League with 60
hits on the year and also tied for the top mark in total bases
(90), while placing second in runs scored (32), tied for first in
doubles (13) and first in triples (4). She started every game this
season at shortstop and led the Crimson to a berth in the NCAA
regional final for the first time in school history.
