SIOUX FALLS – South Dakota State’s Kelsey Lenox was named Summit League Player of the Week in leading the Jackrabbit softball team to a sweep of Omaha over the weekend.
A junior from Chesterfield, Missouri, Lenox drove in 14 runs on four home runs and a pair of doubles in the four-game series at Jackrabbit Softball Stadium. She homered in both games of an April 10 doubleheader, hitting a pair of two-run shots in the opener before driving in five more runs on a three-run homer and two-run double in Game 2.
She capped her weekend with a grand slam in the April 11 series finale.
For the week, Lenox batted .583 (7-for-12) and recorded a 1.750 slugging percentage as the Jackrabbits ran their winning streak to 14 games to match a school record, as well as remain unbeaten in conference play at 12-0.
Lenox is the fourth SDSU position player to be named Summit League Player of the Week so far this season, joining Rozelyn Carrillo (March 8), Emma Osmundson (March 15) and Lindsey Culver (April 5).
The Jackrabbits (27-4) travel to North Dakota for a four-game weekend series. Doubleheaders are slated for noon both Saturday and Sunday at Apollo Park in Grand Forks, North Dakota.
