LSC SOFTBALL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
LSC North Hitter
Alley Roberts, University of Central Oklahoma
Jr., Second base, Pawnee, Okla./Pawnee
Roberts keyed a 5-1 week for the Bronchos by hitting .550 with three home runs, one double, one triple and six RBI.  She had 11 hits in 20 at bats and also scored seven runs as UCO swept a four-game LSC North series from Southwestern Oklahoma and split a doubleheader with Midwestern State.  Roberts had a solo homer in a series-opening 2-0 win over SWOSU, drove in two runs in a come-from-behind 7-6 win over the Bulldogs and had two hits with another solo homer in a series-ending 4-1 win.

LSC North Pitcher
Alli Blake, University of Central Oklahoma
Sr., Pitcher, Oklahoma City, Okla./Putnam City North
Senior star led UCO to a 5-1 week in LSC North Division action, pitching in five of the six games and going 2-0 with two saves and a 1.57 ERA.  Blake allowed just five earned runs in 22 1/3 innings and didn't walk a batter while striking out 11.  She tossed a complete-game four-hitter in a series-opening 2-0 win over Southwestern Oklahoma and also picked up the win in 5-3 victory over Midwestern State.  Blake earned two saves in UCO's four-game sweep of SWOSU, giving her seven already this season to break her own single-season school record of six.

Lopez went 10-for-18 from the plate as she sparked the No. 4-ranked Rambelles to a 6-1 week. She tallied 12 runs batted in the seven games, including nine RBI in ASU's three-game weekend set with West Texas A&M. She went 7-for-9 with three doubles, two home runs and five runs scored in the three games with the Lady Buffs. Lopez hit the second grand slam of her career in Friday's 8-0 win over WTAMU. Her five RBI in that game is one shy of the ASU record. She entered the week hitting .222 and is now hitting .306, raising her average 84 points in seven games.

Saulters pitched 21.0 innings in three complete games, allowing just five runs (four earned) and striking out 15 batters.  Opponents hit just .190 off the senior as she recorded one win against St. Mary's and two against ENMU.  She had a complete game shutout against the Zias on Friday.  Saulters struck out seven Lady Rattler batters and eight total Zias on both days.
