OMAHA, Neb. -- Freshman catcher and designated player Sydney Potter has been named BIG EAST Freshman of the Week after guiding the Bluejays to a 3-1 record at the Cougar Invite. Sophomore Lily West was also named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll.
Potter, a Runnells, Iowa, native, started all four games for the Bluejays at the Cougar Invite, pacing the squad with a .636 (7-of-11) batting average with two doubles, three home runs, three walks, five runs scored and 11 RBI.
The freshman slugger started the weekend with a 1-for-3 showing at the plate, with her lone hit came in a big way as she blasted a three-run shot to left to record the first home run of her Bluejay career.
