The two-time returning Gatorade State Player of the Year, the 5-foot-8 senior left-handed pitcher had led the Kestrels to an 18-3 record at the time of her selection. Beaubien owned a 15-1 mark in the circle with a 0.43 earned run average and 244 strikeouts in 115 innings pitched through 21 games. She had allowed 36 hits and walked nine with 11 shutouts, including two no-hitters and one perfect game. At the plate, Beaubien had posted a .357 batting average with five doubles and a .482 slugging percentage as the Kestrels chase their third straight Division 3 state title.
Beaubien has maintained a weighted 4.71 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a national letter of intent to play softball on scholarship at the University of Michigan beginning this fall.
Beaubien has participated in a service-mission trip to Harlan, Ky., where she helped build houses and worked at a soup kitchen. She has volunteered locally as part of fundraising campaigns to benefit cancer research in addition to serving as a peer tutor. "Meghan has a dominant presence on the mound," said Oxford head coach Jessica Granger, the Gatorade Michigan Softball Player of the Year in both 2004 and 2005. "She has great command of her pitches, throws hard and also can move the ball. I would define her as having a lot of finesse on the mound."
