Price, from Westminster College, holds a 3.96 grade-point average while majoring in Mathematics/Economics/Spanish. She is a former SLIAC Pitcher of the Year winner (2018) and was named All-Conference three times in her career while being named All-Region in 2018. This marks the second time in her career she has been named Academic All-District, also earning the honor in 2018.
