WASHINGTON – The Atlantic 10 Conference recognized Saint Louis junior Abby Mallo as its Under Armour Softball Player of the Week, while Dayton junior Izzy Kemp received Pitcher of the Week. St. Bonaventure freshman Nolah Moyer was named Rookie of the Week. The awards, which were announced on Monday, are for games played from April 21 to April 27.
Mallo led a Saint Louis offense that scored 40 runs in a four-win week for the Billikens. She compiled a .636 batting average (7-for-11) with a 1.182 slugging percentage, a .688 on-base percentage and a 1.870 OPS. Mallo had two hits and two RBIs against Lindenwood, including the game-winning RBI to complete the rally and win 4-3. In SLU’s series-opening win against St. Bonaventure, she connected for a home run and drove in four runs in the 15-6 win. During the series-finale, Mallo drove in eight runs, crushed a grand slam and had two singles in the 18-0 victory.
Kemp posted a 0.42 ERA in four appearances this week. She worked a total of 16.2 innings with 27 strikeouts, walked two batters and allowed only one run. In Wednesday's first game at Akron, Kemp fanned 11 over five innings. She followed that with a complete-game, 10-strikeout win in the series opener at Saint Joseph's on Saturday. Kemp, a right-handed pitcher from Westfield, Ind., picked up her fourth save of the season after closing out game one on Sunday. Mallo made a relief appearance in the second game of Sunday’s doubleheader and struck out five in three innings.
Moyer slashed .571/.647/.643 over five games for the Bonnies. Over five games, the Muncy, Pa. native collected eight hits, three RBIs, a double and three walks. In the Bonnies game one win over Niagara on Wednesday, Moyer tallied two hits and two RBIs. She collected her second multi-hit game of the week and drove in a run in game two of the doubleheader. In the Bonnies three-game series at Saint Louis, Moyer went 4-for-7 with a double. She had a two-hit effort in game two of Saturday's doubleheader.
