NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - The Atlantic 10 Conference has named Dayton senior Abby Ehrenborg its Softball Player of the Week, while her Flyer teammate and sophomore Sarah Bailitz was named Pitcher of the Week. George Washington freshman Alexa Williams earned Rookie of the Week accolades. The awards, announced Tuesday and presented by Biosteeel, are for all games through March 7 to start the season.

Over the first six games of the season, Ehrenborg is hitting at a .365 clip with four home runs and nine RBI while carrying a 1.050 slugging percentage. The Mechanicsburg, Ohio, native has seven hits to one strikeout. The catcher and designated player batted two home runs against IUPUI on March 6 and added two doubles against Bellarmine on March 7. Defensively, she has recorded 28 putouts behind the plate as Dayton's everyday catcher.

Bailitz (2-0) has made three appearances with 13.2 innings pitched through Dayton's first six games played this season. In a 7-1 win over Bellarmine on March 6, the RHP from Arlington Heights, Ill., worked a complete game with eight strikeouts while allowing one earned run on four hits. In 2.2 innings of work against IUPUI on March 7, Bailitz tallied five strikeouts and gave up one earned run. She carries a 1.02 ERA and has tallied 17 strikeouts on the season to lead the Dayton pitching corps.

Williams put together a fantastic series to help GW sweep four games from Mount St. Mary's, tallying at least one hit in every contests and posting a .600/.636/1.400 slash line with 10 total RBIs. Four of the rookie's six hits went for extra bases, including a pair of home runs -- a three-run shot and then a two-run shot to account for five of the team's six runs -- in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader. The utility player out of El Cajon, Calif., had two hits, including a double, with three RBIs and two runs scored in the series opener, and knocked in two runs in the series finale.
