NEW YORK – The final BIG EAST Softball weekly awards have been secured by Butler freshman Karli Ricketts and Villanova sophomore Paige Rauch. Ricketts collects her first Pitcher of the Week honor of the season, while Rauch takes home her second. The Bulldogs split at home against the regular season conference champion St. John’s, and the Wildcats split with second-place DePaul at home. Both series were cut to just two games due to inclement weather.
