WILLIAM MARSHALL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DALLAS, a junior pitcher from Frisco, Texas, has been named the SCAC Baseball Pitcher of the Week for games played Monday, April 4th through Sunday, April 10th.

Marshall was instrumental in both of the Crusaders' victories this weekend, as Dallas claimed a 2-1 series win over Schreiner University. Marshall combined for 8.1 innings out of the bullpen, including a career-high 4.1 on Sunday. The Frisco, Texas, native earned the winning decision in both contests, and blanked the Mountaineers in each outing. Marshall set a career-high, five strikeouts, in Saturday's 10-7 win. He added four punch outs in the 4-1 finale, including three of the final six straight outs the right-hander garnered to secure the series.
