LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Colorado Mesa’s AnnMarie Torres and Chico State’s Brooke Larsen were named 2020 Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division II Player and Wilson/NFCA Pitcher of the Week, respectively, for their outstanding play during games played, Feb. 24-March 1.

Torres, a two-time NFCA weekly honoree, powered Colorado Mesa to a four-game Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) series sweep of CSU Pueblo. The senior first baseman clubbed four home runs, recorded 11 RBI and slugged 1.538. She also hit .538, doubled, walked four times and registered a .647 on-base percentage. Those four free passes tied a RMAC single-game record, which Torres achieved in game one of the series. In game two, the Wheat Ridge, Colo. native hit two of her homers, doubled and knocked in five runs. Torres homered in each of the final two games. She added four more RBI in game three and two in the finale.

Larsen was unhittable in her two starts against Cal State East Bay, keying the fourth-ranked Wildcats to a California Collegiate Athletic Association four-game series sweep. The junior hurler tossed back-to-back no-hitters against the Pioneers, fanning a dozen batters (six in each win) in her 11 innings of work. She also helped herself out at the dish, hitting .571 (4-for-7) with a double, three RBI and three runs scored.
