From the Coach – Head Coach David Kuhn
"Jordan has worked extremely hard to hone her craft since the first day she walked on campus. It's great to see her awarded the pitcher of the week after such an amazing week.
 
MK (Mary Kate) has been amazing on defense as a second baseman for the past year and a half. She's also been an outstanding hitter for us as well. She's really been swinging the bat well the past couple of weeks and she's quite deserving of this honor."
