TEMPE, Ariz.-- Senior outfielder Morgan Howe has been named the Pac-12 player of the week, announced by the league office Monday afternoon.
Howe carded seven hits in her ten at-bats this weekend in Palo Alto, helping the Sun Devils pick up a series sweep of Stanford. The Poway, Calif., native started the weekend with a two-for-three showing in the series opener, before going three-for-five with two doubles and a home run in game two. The senior picked up right where she left off in game three, launching a grand slam and an RBI single in the series finale.
Howe finished the weekend with a .700 batting average, 1.600 slugging percentage and a .750 on-base percentage for the weekend. Her nine RBI this weekend pushed her season total to 51on the season, and 91 as a Sun Devil, leaving her just nine shy of reaching the century mark in her two seasons in the maroon and gold.
The Sun Devils will be back in action next weekend against Cal for their final home weekend of the 2019 season. Action in the three-game series against the Golden Bears will begin with a 5:00 p.m. first pitch Friday evening. The series will continue with a 1:00 p.m. contest Saturday, before closing out the home-slate with a noon first pitch Sunday.
