NEC SOFTBALL CO-PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
Jordan Seneca, Saint Francis U
Jr., SS, Plum, PA/Plum
Seneca earned her fourth NEC Player of the Week award and second in a row after she recorded 11 RBIs, nine runs and three home runs as Saint Francis U finished the week 5-0 at the Liberty Classic to run its win streak to nine games. The highlight of Seneca's week was a grand slam against Liberty. Not only did the shot break a 2-2 tie, but it gave her the SFU career home run record. Seneca, who now has a league-high 12 homers this season and 32 in her two-plus years in Loretto, also hit .357 and recorded an on-base percentage of .550. Her 35 RBIs also lead the NEC.
Cheyenne McKee, Saint Francis U
Jr., 2B, DuBois, PA/DuBois
McKee caught fire as the Red Flash won five games at the Liberty Classic to improve to 21-8 on the year. McKee hit .667 (12-for-18) and scored 12 runs out of the leadoff spot, with at least two hits and two runs in each of the wins. She added three doubles, a homer and five RBIs. In a 10-1 win over NC Central, she went 4-4 and blasted a three-run homer. McKee currently leads the Red Flash with a .433 batting average, 39 hits and 34 runs scored.
