Emily Watson has been named The American Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week for the third time this season and second straight week as she posted a 4-0 record in the circle for a Hurricane (20-10 Overall) squad that went 6-0 over the week with five wins at the Rock Chalk Challenge.
Watson (Edmond, Okla.) put together 24 innings of scoreless pitching during the week, extending her stream to 38 straight innings before it ended against Omaha on Sunday on a day where she struck out 14 batters. The junior threw three shutouts, including two over ranked opponents in No.
