ST LOUIS -- After a big weekend at home, two members of UNI Softball are being recognized for their hot bats and cool defensive play this week.
For the second week in a row freshman catcher, Alexis Pupillo has been named the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Newcomer of the Week. Sophomore outfielder Mya Dodge earns her second MVC Player of the Week honor after leading the Panthers at the plate against the Drake Bulldogs and the Southern Illinois Salukis.
Dodge went 9-for-12 at-bat last week for UNI with five home runs, a double, and a triple.
