D1Softball’s Weekly Awards: Trautwein, Fouts, Kaneshiro

Featured

Player of the Week: Hope Trautwein, Sr., P, North Texas

Hope Trautwein became the first player in NCAA Division I history to record a 21-strikeout seven-inning perfect game in a 3-0 win over the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Trautwein’s perfect game was also the first in program history for the Mean Green. Trautwein’s 21-strikeout performance is the third of her career and second this season. She is the only pitcher in Division I history to record multiple 21-strikeout seven-inning games. With 54 career wins, Trautwein is now six away from the UNT program record.


Pitcher of the Week: Montana Fouts, Jr., P, Alabama

The right-hander threw a complete game three-hit shutout with 11 strikeouts on Sunday, recording her ninth complete game of the season and her fifth shutout to give No. 3 Alabama the 2-0 win over No. 9 Arkansas. Fouts notched her eighth game with 10 or more strikeouts, three of which have come in SEC play. She picked up both of Alabama’s wins against Arkansas, fanning 22 batters and allowing zero earned runs.
