SWAC Softball Weekly Awards: Apr. 7

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.- The Southwestern Athletic Conference has tabbed Florida A&M's Jordan Douglas and Zoryana Hughes along with Bethune-Cookman's Janel Morrisey for SWAC Softball Weekly Awards. 
 
Hitter
Over the course of the three-game series, Douglas went 3-for-6 with three home runs, seven RBI, and three runs scored. Her grand slam in Thursday's opener was the second of her season. 
 
Pitcher
Hughes set the tone for the entire series Thursday night, retiring all 22 Alabama A&M batters she faced in a complete-game no-hitter — a 6-0 shutout that was never in doubt. She struck out eight, hit one batter, and needed just 104 pitches to navigate seven spotless innings, improving her record to 9-3 on the season.
 
Newcomer
Morrisey had a dominant series in a road sweep over Mississippi Valley State. She finished 8-for-13 including a walk, three doubles, a triple, and six RBI. Morrisey was also impactful on the bases, scoring seven runs and going a perfect 5-for-5 on stolen bases.
