KAYMEE GOODEN OF TEXAS LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY was selected as the conference Co-Player-of-the-Year.

Gooden, a senior outfielder from Mart, Texas, is currently ranked in the top 10 in almost every statistical category heading into this weekend’s conference tournament. She leads the league in triples (five) and home runs (eight) and is second in RBI (34) and total bases (81), third in runs (34), eighth in batting average (.369), second in slugging percentage (.730) and ninth in hits (41). She earned NFCA National Player-of-the-Week honors – as well as SCAC Player-of-the-Week honors – for games played the week of April 3-9 after batting .700 with two doubles, a triple, two home runs, 10 runs batted in and four stolen bases in a four-game sweep of Dallas. Gooden is the fourth consecutive Texas Lutheran softball student-athlete to earn SCAC Player-of-the-Year honors.

Gooden and Jade Miller of the University of Dallas each received three votes in the SCAC Player-of-the-Year balloting, while first-year outfielder Sydney Scott of Southwestern University received the remaining first-place vote.
