AMANDA WHITE OF TEXAS LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY, a senior right-hander from Lockhart, Texas, has been named the SCAC Softball Pitcher-of-the-Week for games played from Monday, March 27 through Sunday, April 2. SCAC Softball Release - Week 8

White was outstanding in the circle last week for the Bulldogs, helping lift TLU to a perfect 7-0 record, including doubleheader non-conference sweeps over Wellesley and DePauw and an SCAC sweep of Austin College. In three appearances, White went 2-0 and secured a save. In nine innings of work, White scattered just three hits, didn’t allow a single run, and struck out 12 batters. White was part of a TLU pitching staff that didn’t allow a single run in seven games last week, posting a perfect 0.00 ERA. On the week, White posted a remarkable 9.33 strikeouts per seven innings and is now second in the SCAC with 57 strikeouts on the season.

Other outstanding performances in the SCAC:
Freshman right-hander Amanda Pollock of Schreiner collected a key win in the circle for the Mountaineers, tossing a complete game in a 4-2 win over Dallas. She went seven innings, scattering three hits and allowing just two runs, while striking out three. First-year pitcher Allison Hughes of St. Thomas had an outstanding week helping lead the Celts over a sweep over SCAC foe Southwestern. Hughes appeared in two games and picked up two wins, striking out seven batters and limiting the pirates to just eight hits. Junior right-handed pitcher Brooke Porter of Trinity notched a pair of victories to lead the Tiger softball team to a 3-3 overall week that included a weekend series win over Centenary in SCAC play. Porter was 2-0 in four total appearances last week, earning wins in both Trinity victories over Centenary. She earned her first win since 2021 in the second game of Saturday's DH against the Ladies, tossing three shutout innings in relief.
