Three Earn USA South Honors

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - Shenandoah University earned three of a possible four USA South Conference softball Player of the Week awards in selections announced Monday by the conference office.

Senior Katie Haskins and freshman Brooke Over swept the pitching awards by being named the league's pitcher and rookie Pitcher of the Week, respectively, while Marlee Camplese was named as the Rookie of the Week.

Haskins, the 2008 USA South Conference Pitcher of the Year, earns her second weekly honor in three weeks after she recorded four wins and a save in five appearances last week.

Haskins struck out 33 in 27.2 innings pitched, had one-hitters against both Mary Baldwin and Methodist and posted a win and a save in a Thursday doubleheader against Mary Washington.

Over was nearly as effective as Haskins, defeating Mary Washington, Mary Baldwin and Methodist before losing to Peace on an unearned run in the bottom of the seventh.

Over had 11 strikeouts in a two-hit victory over Mary Baldwin and this is her third rookie honor this season.

Camplese becomes the second different SU freshman to be named Rookie of the Week in the last three weeks after hitting .500 (10 for 20) in the eight games last week.

Camplese helped the Hornets to a 5-3 win over Mary Washington with a two-run double and was a combined 4 for 5 in the Mary Baldwin sweep.

Shenandoah is back in action on Tuesday at Ferrum.
