NCAA DI
Jocelyn Alo
Sophomore
Oklahoma
Alo is finding her groove at the right time. This past week she went 6-9 (.666). During the week she posted a double, four home runs, 10 RBI’s and walked three times. The Sooners have won 35 in a row and Alo is heating up which make them dangerous as we head towards the WCWS.
Amber Fiser
Junior
Minnesota
Fiser continues to dominate in the Big 10. Last week she posted a 3-0 record. Over the three wins, she threw 17 total innings. The junior struck out 34, walked just four and allowed two earned runs resulting in a 0.82 ERA on the week.
NCAA DII
Maggie Kadrlik
Senior
Augustana
The fifth-year senior is swinging the bat well. Kadrlik, a past FPN AA selection, is a great story also. She missed all of last season due to injury and has returned to put up similar numbers to those she posted during her 2017 season. Last week she went 17-20 (.850) with six home runs and two doubles. Kadrlik also posted 13 RBI’s and scored eight runs. Based on the numbers she is posting, AA may be on the menu again in 2019.
Melanie Murphy
