NEW ORLEANS | After posting a perfect 4-0 record this past week, including a series sweep of App State over the weekend, South Alabama swept the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Week honors as Olivia Lackie was named the league's pitcher of the week for the fifth time this spring and Bailey Welch was selected the player of the week on Tuesday.
The dual weekly conference award selections marked the first time since both Jenna Hardy and Gabby Stagner were named the players of the week for the conference after South's three-game road sweep at UT Arlington to open league play during the 2022 season.
