Billie Andrews was named the Big Ten Softball Player of the Week Monday following an outstanding performance at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic this past weekend. Andrews was named the Big Ten Player of the Week for the second time in her career, while a Husker won the award for the second straight week.
Andrews pounded her way through their five-team bracket which included three currently ranked teams - and all five having participated in last year’s NCAA tournament. Once she was done denting softballs, she had gone 13-21 for .619 average and bashed a double, 4 home runs, 6 RBI’s and 8 runs scored thus participating in almost half the team’s scoring.
