ATLANTA — The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference announced its SIAC Softball Players of the Week on Tuesday, April 15, honoring student-athletes for impressive performances in games played last week.
Jasmin Stewart (
Fort Valley State) and
Monica Rose (
Tuskegee) were recognized.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK – JASMIN STEWART, FORT VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY
Outfielder | Junior | McDonough, Ga.
Stewart had a phenomenal outing in the Wildcat's sweep of Albany State. She went 6-for-10 (.600) through three games. Stewart tallied six RBI and five runs scored with two doubles and two triples slugging 1.200 for the weekend.
PITCHER OF THE WEEK – MONICA ROSE, TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY
Pitcher/First Base | Freshman | Pleasant Grove, Ala.
Rose secured three complete-game victories over the past week, leading the Golden Tigers to a 3–1 record in non-conference and conference play. She delivered a pair of complete-game shutouts against Miles College and added a commanding win over Stillman College, improving her season record to 15–2. Across 19 innings pitched last week, the veteran right-hander allowed just seven hits, no earned runs, and struck out 22 batters, while issuing only four walks and holding opponents to a combined .118 batting average.
Rose opened the week on the road at Stillman College on April 10, going the distance in a 3–1 victory. Rose scattered four hits across seven innings, allowing just one earned run while striking out eight in a tight, efficient performance. Her poise helped Tuskegee hold off Stillman’s late-inning rally and earn a key non-conference win against a 28-win team?. She returned to the circle the following day at Bill Noble Park in Gardendale, tossing another seven-inning gem in a 6–0 shutout of SIAC rival Miles College. Rose struck out eight more in the outing, allowing just one hit and walking two to earn her 14th win of the season?.
She capped her dominant week on Sunday with a five-inning two-hit shutout in a 10–0 win to clinch the series at Miles. Rose struck out six and again did not allow a run, displaying full command of the strike zone while being backed by a Tuskegee defense that played error-free ball in all three of her starts?.
