BALTIMORE, Md. (April 25, 2024) -- Morgan State University's Victoria Fletcher received the honor of Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Softball Pitcher of the Week.
Alongside Fletcher's recognition, her teammate Ellie Bostedt was named the MEAC Softball Rookie of the Week.
It marked the second weekly honor this season for Fletcher and the fourth for Bostedt.
North Carolina Central senior Jahlah Barr was named MEAC Player of the Week.
A native of Huntington, Md., Fletcher showcased exceptional dominance on the mound throughout the recently concluded series against Howard. Her remarkable performance earned her an impressive 0.44 ERA. In the series opener, Fletcher took the mound and delivered a complete game, striking out six batters while allowing only three hits. Her performance set the tone for the series and laid the foundation for her team's success.
In the second game of their series against Howard, the Bears' pitching ace, Bostedt, delivered a dominant performance against the Bison. The freshman from Las Vegas, Nevada, took the mound and proceeded to throw a complete game shutout, a feat that left her opponents without a single run.
The Lady Bears are back in action at home this weekend when they welcome rival Coppin State to Lois T. Murray Field for a crucial three-game MEAC series (April 27-28). The series gets underway with a doubleheader on Saturday beginning at 1 p.m. The series will conclude on Sunday with a single game at noon.
