Brisker picks up RSC Softball Player of the Week
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- Caitlyn Brisker from University of Rio Grande (Ohio) is the River States Conference Softball Player of the Week. The first honoree of the season, the award is for all games through Feb. 18.
The senior shortstop hit .550 going 11 for 20 in five games to open the season. That effort led the RedStorm to the championship of the NFCA Leadoff Classic in Columbus, Ga., with Brisker earning all-tournament honors.
Five of her hits went for extra-bases with three doubles, a triple and a homer. She scored 12 runs, got on base at .591 and slugged .950 as Rio Grande went 5-0 on the weekend.
Brisker had a pair of four-hit games going 4 for 5 and hitting for the cycle versus Kentucky Christian. She was 4 for 5 with a double and three runs in a win over Truett McConnell (Ga.).
