ATLANTA, Ga. – Tossing the third perfect game of her career against Saint Louis, softball's Jordan Johnson was named the ASUN Pitcher of the Week. It marks the third weekly award for the junior, marking the first such award in the ASUN.
 
Striking out a career-high 13 batters, Johnson picked apart the Billikens lineup, sending them back to the dugout as fast as they made it to the plate. Seven of her first nine batters went down on Ks, including five straight from the first to third innings.
 
Johnson struck out the side in the fifth inning, before a strong defensive effort in the field helped close out the game, with the junior striking out the final two outs to clinch the perfect game. The win marked the first of the season for Johnson, who now has 30 strikeouts on the year. The junior has thrown three complete games this year, adding a save to her season tally.

Winning the weekly ASUN award makes Johnson the second player for Central Arkansas to claim an award, after Tremere Harris claimed the first Player of the Week award of the year.
