Holloway Named UAA Softball Co-Player Of The Week

mory sophomore Bridget Holloway (Sparta, IL) has been named the University Athletic Association Softball Co-Player of the Week following her performance in helping the Eagles to a 4-0 record in key games against Piedmont College and LaGrange College. It is the first time in her collegiate career that she has been tabbed for the honor.  She shares this week's award with Stacy Berg of Brandeis University.

Holloway picked up all four of Emory’s victories and in the process raised her season record to 14-8.  Holloway posted an ERA of 1.02 after tossing 27 1/3 innings and striking out 13 while allowing just 2 walks. She hurled complete games in all three of her starts and picked up her fourth win after registering 6 1/3 innings of scoreless relief in a come-from-behind 4-3 win over LaGrange College in the second game of a twinbill on April 16.  She opened the week with a masterful one-hitter in a 4-0 triumph against Piedmont College (Apr. 14) in the first game of a doubleheader and followed that with a seven-inning gem that saw her give up just five hits while striking out five in a 6-1 triumph.  She keyed an 8-3 win over LaGrange in the first game, surrendering just six hits and recording a pair of strikeouts. 

So far this season, she has completed 17 of her 21 starts and has whiffed 107 opponents in 149 1/3 innings of work.

Emory, 23-13 on the year, returns to action on Wednesday, April 21, when it plays a doubleheader at Piedmont College.
