LAFAYETTE – Summer Ellyson earned three wins combined in matchups with Troy and Texas State, allowing Louisiana to maintain its position atop the Sun Belt standings, and those efforts were recognized on Tuesday as she was named the Sun Belt Conference Pitcher of the Week.
The senior right-hander collected the 12th SBC Pitcher of the Week award of her illustrious career. She has now claimed at least one weekly award in each of the past four seasons competed.
It's the second weekly award of the 2021 season for No. 13 Louisiana (34-7, 16-2 Sun Belt), adding to Kandra Lamb's honor back on March 30 following the series sweep of South Alabama.
