WICHITA, Kan. - Lauren Lucas made her much-awaited return to the diamond for Wichita State softball this past weekend, and it looked like she hadn't missed a beat. Lucas was named the American Athletic Conference Player of the Week after a stellar opening weekend in Phoenix.
Over five games, Lucas hit .667 (10-for-15) with three doubles, two home runs, seven RBIs and eight runs scored. The Little Elm, Texas, native produced a four-hit game against Montana where she notched a double, home run and four RBIs, while scoring three times. This is her third AAC Player of the Week honor and first since 2023.
