She has had a few stumbling blocks this season, in her three losses, most recently on the road against UCLA two weeks ago, but at home has been a key to the Oregon Ducks number one ranking this season along with an offense hitting .363 and scoring over three-hundred runs this season. Hawkins currently has an ERA at 1.11 on the season after starting the season with an ERA entering Pac-12 play that was well under 1 at 0.32
