SYDNEY SCOTT OF SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, a junior utility player from Sugar Land, Texas, has been named the SCAC Softball Player of the Week for games played through Sunday, February 3rd.

Scott opened the Pirates' season with a leadoff double in the bottom of the first, scoring the first Southwestern run. She showed power to left field with two doubles and patience at the plate, drawing a walk with bases loaded to secure the Pirates' first victory.

Through the team's first two games, Scott was 5-for-8 with two RBI. She displayed speed on the base paths with two stolen bases and three runs scored, and also in the field, covering great ground in left field with seven put outs; second on the team behind first baseman Katie Bricarell.

Sophomore left fielder Kelly Jurden of Texas Lutheran hit .571 in a two-game sweep of Huston-Tillotson. Jurden went 4-for-7 with a double, two RBI, two stolen bases, and three runs scored. She had two hits in each of the victories.
