WASHINGTON -- The Atlantic 10 Conference has named Saint Louis fifth-year Cami Newbanks as its Softball Player of the Week. Dayton sophomore Izzy Kemp was selected as the Pitcher of the Week. George Washington first year earned a weekly award for the second week in a row, being named the Rookie of the Week. The awards were announced Tuesday and are for games played March 12-18.

Newbanks posted a .412 batting average (7-for-17), with team-highs in hits, home runs (two), RBIs (eight), slugging percentage (.765) and runs (four), and a .500 on-base percentage in five Saint Louis games. The Oreana, Ill. native struck out just twice in 20 plate appearances and handled 21 fielding chances without an error. The fifth-year batted a team-high .700 (7-for-10) with three multi-hit games, two homers and eight RBIs as the Billikens took two of three from UMass in A-10 play.

Kemp worked two complete games over the weekend, picking up two wins in Dayton's 2-1 series win at George Mason. On Saturday, she tossed the complete-game shutout with eight strikeouts to one walk in the 3-0 win. The Westfield, Ind. native followed that with seven strikeouts over seven innings of work on the way to a 5-2 win over the Patriots.

Smith, who was last week's Pitcher of the Week, led GW to a 4-1 record in five games this week, accounting for all five decisions with a 4-1 record. The Atlanta, Ga. native pitched 19.2 innings, only allowing nine runs and striking out 22, a 22/6 strikeout-walk ratio. The freshman brought a no-hitter into seventh inning vs. UMES, ending the game with one hit, zero runs allowed and 10 strikeouts.
