In her debut season with the Blackbirds, Mejia picks up her first Akadema/NEC Player of the Week award after she went 11-for-18 (.611), slammed three homers and drove in eight runs to help LIU go 3-2 at the Cathedral City Classic in Palm Springs, CA last weekend. The sophomore transfer from Michigan State sparked a six-run first inning against #12 Northwestern with a two-run homer, as the Blackbirds went on to claim an 11-6 victory over the Wildcats. Mejia recorded a hit in each game, including two home runs and five RBI in a 3-for-4 effort during an 8-2 rout of UNLV. The Sylmar, CA product also came away with two steals during the tournament. LIU also traveled to Boca Raton, FL for the FAU Strike Out Cancer tournament Feb. 6-8 where Mejia hit .333 with five hits, one RBI and a run scored, including a 2-for-3 performance in the season-opening 3-1 win over Pittsburgh.
