St. Thomas first baseman Alison Wright (SR-Pewaukee, Wis.) and RHP Marta Radcliffe (SR-Lakeville) Monday were named MIAC Player of the Week in softball.
Wright ran her hitting streak to 18 games and moved into second on the MIAC career hits list at 231 as she batted .773 (11-of-15) to lead St. Thomas to a 6-0 week. She had no errors in 34 chances at first base and also had a SF and three sacrifices. She went 4-for-5 against Carleton, 3-for-5 vs. Augsburg and 4-for-5 against Concordia.
Wright has struck out just twice in 80 plate appearances on the season. Her 231 hits in 163 games moved past Nikki Conway's 230. She's 10 hits from moving past leader Michelle Wong's 239 total.
Radcliffe moved past 50 career wins as she went 4-0 with an 0.94 ERA in six appearances last week to lead the Tommies' 6-0 week. Radcliffe had 31 strikeouts and allowed just seven walks. She allowed no hits in six innings of a sweep at Concordia-Moorhead and allowed just one earned run in nine innings of a sweep against Augsburg. She also went 7-for-12 at the plate with a double, two homers, six runs, three RBI and a 1.17 slugging percentage.
Radcliffe is 52-13 on her pitching career including a 30-2 record against MIAC opposition.
The Tommies (19-5 overall, 6-0 MIAC) have won 17 of their last 18 games and have three home MIAC doubleheaders this week.
