Behrend Softball's Koman Named AMCC Pitcher of the Week

Behrend softball star Julie Koman (McKees Rocks/Montour) was named AMCC Softball Pitcher of the Week on April 30.  This is the third pitcher of the week honor for Koman this season.

The sophomore had a dominant week on the mound for the blue and white, getting two of Behrend's four consecutive wins to close out conference play.  Koman threw a three-hit, six-strikeout, complete game shutout against Hilbert and followed it up with a two-hit, nine-strikeout, complete game shutout against Frostburg State.  She also chipped in at the plate, going 3-for-3 with two home runs and a double. 

Koman currently leads the AMCC in E.R.A (1.32) and opposing batting average (.217).  In addition she is second in the league in strikeouts (127) and wins (13).

Behrend will play a first-round AMCC tournament game on Friday, May 4 at 10:00 a.m. at North Allegheny High School.  #3 seed Behrend will battle #6 seed Lake Erie in a single-elimination game for the chance to advance in the AMCC Tournament May 4-6 hosted by #1 La Roche.
