Wallace claims LSWA honor

Louisiana Tech’s Melanie Goff along with LSU’s Rachele Fico and UL’s Jordan Wallace picked up this week’s edition of the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Softball Hitter and Pitcher of the Week awards Tuesday as voted upon by the state’s sports information directors.

A freshman pitcher for the Cajuns, Wallace improved to a spotless 18-0 aided by a pair of complete game shutout victories over South Alabama.

She racked up a career-best 16 strikeouts and surrendered only five hits during a 1-0 10-inning win.

She followed that up with a two-hitter and seven Ks in a 3-0 triumph to cap the three-game series sweep. The Weatherford, Texas, product is off to one of the best starts in NCAA history for a freshman to begin their career.
