PLANO, Texas – UTSA freshman Brittany Cantu has been named the Aeropostale/Southland Conference Softball Hitter of the Week for her performance last weekend, the league office announced Tuesday.
Cantu batted .667 in a three-game sweep of Southeastern Louisiana, going 6-for-9 with four runs, three home runs, nine runs batted in, one walk, a 1.667 slugging percentage and a .700 on-base percentage. In a pair of 8-0 victories in a Saturday doubleheader, Cantu had two hits, including a home run, and four RBI. She wrapped up the series with a 4-for-4, five-RBI performance on Sunday in a 17-4 win. Cantu launched two home runs, including a mammoth grand slam into the trees in center field, in an 11-run second inning, as UTSA improved to 7-6 overall and 3-0 in the conference. She is now hitting .368 with 14 hits, including a team-best eight home runs, 18 RBI in 13 games this year.
This marks the third time a Roadrunner has been honored by the league as senior Mel Torres and junior Ursula Mares swept Hitter and Pitcher of the Week honors on Feb. 14.
Jill Garro of Texas-Arlington was named SLC Pitcher of the Week.
