SAN BRUNO, Calif. — Freshman Vanessa Richie has been named the West Coast Conference Pitcher of the Week after her scoreless performances across three games.
Richie made one start and two relief appearances during the week and was ever-effective in her 4.2 innings. In relief against Boise State and Sacramento State, the freshman threw 1.2 scoreless frames and recorded four of the five outs via strikeout.
She then got the nod for her first career start against Idaho State and threw three scoreless frames while striking out three and giving up just two hits for her first collegiate win.
