Last season, she batted .464 with 20 home runs and 65 runs batted in. The right-handed hitter also scored 65 runs and stole 11 bases.

A graduate of Akins High School, Duran was her team's defensive Most Valuable Player and a first team All-District selection as a senior. As a junior, she earned second team All-District honors.

She is the daughter of Julia and Gilbert Duran and expects to major in kinesiology at SIUE.
