Behrend's Kauschauer and Koman AMCC Player/Pitcher of the Week
Penn State Behrend's Nikki Kashauer (South Park/South Park) was named AMCC Softball player of the week while teammate Juile Koman (McKees Rocks/Montour) took away AMCC Pitcher of the Week honors.
The Behrend Lions Softball team traveled to Claremont, FL
last week for their annual spring training. The women posted an 8-2 record overall over a
six day stretch of play.
Kashauer lead the blue and white, hitting .517 (15-29) with four triples and seven RBI. She only struck out three times in ten games. Nikki was named the AMCC Preseason Player of the year and rightfully so as she went 2-3 on stolen bases as well.
Pitcher Koman stood out for the blue and white,
winning in all five games she pitched last week. Julie posted 30
strikes in 35 innings of work, including a no-hitter against Westfield.
She allowed only six earned runs on 22 hits while on the mound.
The women open up AMCC play with a double header against Medaille college on Wednesday, March 26. Games will be played at Penn State Behrend softball field, with play beginning at 3:00 p.m. The Behrend Lions will go on to host Grove City college on Thursday, March 27, with games beginning at 3:30 p.m. Last year, the blue and white traveled to Medaille and lost both games of their double header 4-3 and 5-4.
