Dowagiac three-sport standout Torie Lowe will continue her softball career at Aquinas College.

Lowe signed a National Letter of Intent on Monday afternoon.

Lowe, who also is a standout in basketball and golf, selected softball from several offers.
She visited Grand Valley State University and Trine University for basketball, as well at Kalamazoo College.

“I went up there this summer for a couple of visits and kind of fell in love with their coaching staff and the campus,” she said. “It’s kind of a smaller school, and I thought it would be a good fit for me.”

Lowe earned first team All-Wolverine Conference in both softball and basketball her freshmen, sophomore and junior seasons. She was also first team All-Wolverine Conference her junior year and second team all-league as a sophomore.

In basketball she has amassed more than 1,100 points, making her just the third girl to ever eclipse the 1,000-point plateau.

She holds the school record for most 3-pointers made in a single game (7) and most free throws attempted in a season (193).

She was selected Special Mention All-State by the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan last season.

On the softball diamond, she hit .304 her freshman year with seven doubles, two triples and 23 RBIs. She threw out 7-of-18 runners attempting to steal on her.

As a sophomore, she hit .300 with six doubles, two triples and drove in 27 runs. She threw out 10-of-24 base stealers.

Last season Lowe hit .386 with 16 doubles, 1 triple, two home runs and had 26 RBIs. She tossed out 5-of-12 runners attempting to steal.
