Softball's Macha and Koman Awarded AMCC Weekly Honors
Junior
first baseman Kristin Macha
(Export/Franklin) and freshman pitcher Julie Koman (McKees
Rocks/Montour) have swept the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference
(AMCC) Player and Pitcher of the Week honors for the week of May 1.
Macha was named AMCC Player of the Week as she went 4-for-8 at the
plate as the Behrend Lions swept a doubleheader with the Lake Erie
Storm on April 26 to capture the AMCC regular season championship.
Macha, who leads the AMCC in batting average (.475), blasted two
doubles and had three RBIs on the day as the blue and white earned the
right to host the AMCC Tournament as the #1 seed. Macha also
leads the conference in on base percentage (.514), is fourth in total
hits (47), and is sixth in RBIs (29).
Julie Koman was named AMCC
Pitcher of the Week for May 1. In addition the hurler was
honored as the ECAC Pitcher of the Week. The freshman threw a complete
game no-hitter in shutting out Lake Erie, after firing a 1-hitter in
her previous outing against Fredonia State. Koman is currently
leading the AMCC in ERA (0.64) and opposing batting average (.156).
This is the third time this season that Koman has been named AMCC
Pitcher of the Week.
The
Behrend Lions softball team (31-7, 16-2) will host the AMCC
Tournament May 5-7 at the Behrend Fields. Play begins at 12:15
p.m. on Friday, May 5 when #1 Behrend takes on # 4 Frostburg State.
