Sara Nevins Receives Big East Honor

Sara Nevins is simply unhittable right now, can she keep it going vs. Notre Dame tomorrow?

From Greg Auman - Sara Nevins continues to garner attention and rightly so. The stand out freshman pitcher received Big East Pitcher of the Week accolades after he dominating performance in the sweep over the Huskies.

Nevins is simply dealing right now. She has 14 wins on the season, leading the Bulls pitching (Richardson is unhittable as well, taking nothing away from her and her great season thus far). She hasn't allowed a hit run since April 3rd, going 41.1 innings without a player crossing home plate.

Another surprising number Nevins has is her 8 saves, setting a new school record once held by USF great Cristi Ecks in 2007. It shows the pitching strategy that Eriksen likes to go with, using Richardson to start games, making it hard on opponents to begin win and late in games, he brings in Nevins to seal the deal. This one-two punch makes USF one of the toughest teams to face in the country and will have to be at their best tomorrow morning vs. Notre Dame.

Outfielder Gina Kafalas was also honored by being named to the Big East weekly honor after going 5-8 against UCONN and scoring 6 runs as well. She continues to hit over.370 on the season and gets the offense going early from the leadoff spot in the lineup.

Please come out tomorrow for the softball double header that begins at 11 AM and second game scheduled for 1 PM (times could vary depending on time of first game). I know I continue to repeat myself, but this is very important to USF and the ladies. Come out and show your support for not only USF athletics, but for the incredible season the ladies are having and the bright future ahead.
