ELMHURST, Ill. – South Dakota Statel's Ali Herdliska was named Summit League Softball Player of the Week, announced Monday by the league office.
Herdliska posted a .643 (9-of-14) average over five games last week with a .750 on-base percentage and a 1.000 slugging percentage, playing a crucial role in helping the Jackrabbits take the weekend series against IPFW.
Patient at the plate, the Solon, Iowa, native worked six walks and struck out just once, racking up two doubles and a home run. She reached safely in all five contests.
In the series opener with the Mastodons, Herdliska was 2-for-2 with three walks and Sunday's finale saw the sophomore go 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBIs.
This is the second weekly honor for Herdliska this season, who was named a 2017 preseason Player to Watch by the league.
