DALLAS – With the first weekend of Division I softball in the books, Conference USA announced its first crop of weekly awards for 2025 on Monday. The awards recognize the best player, pitcher and freshman of each week. Headlining this week's group was NM State's own Lauren Garcia after a phenomenal three days at the plate. In her first weekend with the Crimson & White, Garcia led the way for an Aggie offense that racked up 70 hits on a .389 batting average en route to a 4-2 record.
Lauren Garcia posted one of the best debuts in Aggie history over the weekend as NM State went 4-2 with two wins over each Colorado State and Kansas City.
