Sophomore golfer Kristen White tied the Lady Buckeye Spring Invitational tournament record with a mark of 214 to win the individual title. White broke a school and course record with a career-low 66 in the first round followed by two rounds of 74. The win marked the second title of her career as she also finished first at the Central District Invitational in February.
Scott Lewis (So., Washington Court House, Ohio/Washington) has been named a Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week for the second straight week, Collegiate Baseball released Monday. It is the second straight week Lewis has been so-named. The southpaw fanned 16 batters against Indiana in a 9-3 victory over the Hoosiers Friday night. That effort followed a school record 20 strikeouts in a complete game his last time out against Iowa. In his last two starts, which span over 17 innings, Lewis has struck out 36 batters.
Christian Snavely (Jr., Defiance, Ohio/Defiance) was named the Big Ten Co-Player of the Week Monday after batting .529 (9-for-17) in five games last week with home runs in the first three games against Indiana. It is the second straight Big Ten Player of the Week honor for Snavely, who also shared accolades last week. This past weekend against Indiana, he batted .500 (7-for-14) with seven RBI and six runs scored. Of his nine hits for the week, three were doubles and three were home runs, giving him 21 total bases and a slugging percentage of 1.235.
