The season is only two weeks old for the Northern Illinois softball team and senior catcher Emily Naegele has already been honored by the conference twice.
Naegele was named the MAC West Player of the Week for the second consecutive week after a strong showing at the Grand Canyon University Invitational.
She went 9 for 12 in Phoenix and was intentionally walked three times in the final game of the tournament. On the season, she is batting .654 after hitting .750 and slugging 1.667 in five games at the invitational.
The Huskies (6-4 overall) play in the Cancer Awareness Tournament, hosted by Saint Louis, this weekend – starting with University of Missouri-Kansas City at 5 p.
