University of Northern Iowa freshman pitcher Bailey Lange has been named Pitcher of the Week and Newcomer of the Week by the Missouri Valley Conference as announced on Monday.
Lange (Sioux Falls, SD/Washington) got it done for the Panthers both in the circle and in the batter's box this past week, helping UNI to a 3-1 record with wins against in-state rival Iowa State and MVC-foe Bradley while recording a 0.50 earned run average. On Wednesday against the Cyclones, Lange tossed her first collegiate complete game, striking out a career-high eight batters in a 3-2 win.
