IRVING, Texas - After a dominant performance at the plate and perfect defense in the field, junior third baseman Grace Beatty has been named the Conference USA Player of the Week, the league office announced Monday afternoon.
Beatty led the 49ers to their first series win and sweep of the 2017 season against North Texas this weekend following a disappointing midweek stint at Western Carolina. With an unblemished fielding percentage at the hot corner, she hit .571 with a .611 on base percentage and 1.000 slugging percentage including seven runs batted in, six runs scored, three doubles, two walks and one home run.
