STARKVILLE, Miss. – Sophomore pitcher Jen Mineau of Fordham has been named the Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division I National Player of the Week for games played between April 26 and May 2. 

For the second consecutive week Mineau posted a 0.00 ERA, allowing just eight hits, one double and one walk while striking out 24 over 17 innings of work. She threw two complete game shutouts on the week and limited her opponents to a .140 batting average. 

The Schaghticoke, N.Y., native used a 16 strikeout performance to help propel her to a seven-inning two-hitter versus Charlotte in one of her three wins on the week.
