- The Big West conference announced Monday that sophomore
designated player Marissa Alvidrez earned Big West Softball
Player of the Week for the week ending March 2nd.
Alvidrez earns
her first career player of the week award after posting a
.517 batting average with three home runs, seven RBI, five
runs, and five doubles during the week. She also posted a
2.84 ERA and picked up a win and save in the circle for the
Highlanders in their nine games last week.
UCR picked
five wins during the week including a game two against Eastern
Michigan on Tuesday after Alvidrez led off the bottom of the
sixth with a solo blast to give UCR a 1-0 win. Later in the
week at the UTEP tournament, Alvidrez continued to pound the
ball with a 3-for-4 effort and a solo homer against Georgetown.
She followed that game with a 4-for-5 performance including
a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in the extra-inning
win over Binghamton. Her three-run shot in the bottom of the
seventh of that game sent it to extra frames.
The Highlanders
are home for match-ups against Notre Dame on Tuesday and a
doubleheader with Southern Utah on Wednesday.
