SIOUX FALLS, S.D.—South Dakota senior
Jamie Holscher has been named the Summit League Softball Player of the Week for the period ended Feb. 17. It is the first such honor for Holscher, who hails from Lincoln, Nebraska.
Holscher hit three-run home runs in three consecutive games at this week's Madeira Beach Invitational in Florida. Highlighting the effort was her three-run walk-off homer in extra innings that beat Drexel 11-8 Saturday. Later that day, she added another three-run blast and accounted for all four USD RBIs in a game against Murray State.
Holscher was 7-for-18 in five games in Florida with two doubles, 11 RBIs and three runs scored. She leads the Summit League with 16 RBIs thru 10 games and her .485 average is second in the league to teammate
Dustie Durham's .528 average.
Holscher and the Coyotes (7-3) return to Madeira Beach this weekend for five more contests. Albany (1:30 p.m. ET) and Cornell (6:30 p.m.) are up first Friday. Purdue, a rematch with Drexel, and Middle Tennessee State are also on the docket.
