PLAYER OF THE WEEK – JASMIN STEWART, FORT VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY
Utility | Senior | Hampton, Ga.
Stewart delivered a strong all-around performance for the Wildcats, making an impact both at the plate and behind the dish. Offensively, Stewart recorded eight hits across five games, including a standout performance where she went 3-for-4 with five RBIs and a triple to power the Wildcats’ offense. She also added a pair of doubles and consistently produced in key moments, driving in runs in four of the five contests while maintaining a batting average hovering near the .600 mark during the stretch. Defensively, Stewart was just as reliable, finishing with 32 putouts and one assist while posting a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage with no errors. Stewart’s ability to contribute offensively while anchoring the defense made her a key supporting piece in Fort Valley State’s lineup.
PITCHER OF THE WEEK – MCKENZIE FITCH, ALBANY STATE UNIVERSITY
Pitcher | Freshman | Dacula, Ga.
Fitch delivered an outstanding week in the circle, helping lead Albany State to a series victory over Savannah State. Fitch showcased her composure and command during the Lady Golden Rams’ 2–1 victory, pitching a strong game that limited scoring opportunities and kept Savannah State’s offense under control. Her ability to attack hitters and execute in key moments allowed Albany State to secure the decisive win of the series. Fitch also contributed in relief during the series, closing out a 7–6 victory to help preserve the win.
