Kayla Oliveira, Texas Lutheran University, Co-Pitcher of the Week (Week 6)

KAYLA OLIVEIRA OF TEXAS LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY, a senior from San Diego, Texas, has been named the SCAC Softball Co-Pitcher of the Week for games played from Monday, March 9 through Sunday, March 15.

Oliveira shares the award this week with Lindsey Longuet of Southwestern University.

Oliveira notched a pair of pitching victories last week and did not allow an earned run in 12 innings of work. She tossed a complete-game, one-hitter in the 12-0 win over Baldwin-Wallace in Tucson, Ariz. She struck out four and walked two in that win. Against Trinity, she pitched six shutout innings, walking one and striking out five. 

For the year, Oliveira is 7-1 with a 1.05 ERA.

Other outstanding performances in the SCAC:
Senior Lindsey Longuet of Southwestern picked up the win in both games of Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of Concordia (Texas), working 14.0 innings while allowing just a combined eight hits and one earned run. The league's leader in strikeouts with 79, the senior struck out 14 batters while walking four in the two wins. Junior pitcher Allie Holbrook of Trinity allowed just two runs and scattered seven hits over a complete-game effort against defending national champion Texas Lutheran over the weekend, closing out the 2020 season.
