IRVING, Texas (Feb. 29, 2016) -- Off to an 11-5 start, the FIU softball program registered its first two league weekly honorees as freshman pitcher Megan Kugelmann (Merritt Island, Florida / Cocoa Beach HS) and junior first baseman Stephanie Texeira (Miami, Florida / Gulliver Prep) were named Co-Pitcher and Co-Player of the Week, respectively, by Conference USA today.
Kugelmann tossed her first collegiate no-hitter and the first of the season for the Panthers Saturday when FIU defeated Central Connecticut State 8-0 in six innings. Combined with two perfect innings against Siena on Friday, Kugelmann tossed eight scoreless innings, allowing two baserunners, one via error and the other via hit batter.
