ST LOUIS -- For the third week in a row and the fourth time this season, UNI softball's freshman catcher has earned weekly conference honors.
Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) staff have selected Alexis Pupillo as the Valley's Newcomer of the Week after her performances against Drake and Illinois State. With the season drawing to a close, Pupillo has been named MVC Newcomer of the Week more often than any other player new to the Valley. Only two other players have been Newcomer of the Week more than once, Maya Johnson of Belmont and Jackie Lis of Southern Illinois.
