She ended the season second in the Sun Belt in stolen bases, third in total hits and fifth in batting average, picking up All-Sun Belt Conference Second Team recognition. In conference play, she ranked tied for sixth with 31 hits and tied for fifth with seven stolen bases.

Brown had a sensational freshman season and was one of the top freshman hitters in the SBC.
