LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Virginia Wesleyan’s Hanna Hull and Wesley’s Ashley Royer captured this week’s Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division III National Pitcher and Player of the Week honors, respectively.

Hull, a freshman left-hander for the (8-0) Marlins, went 2-0 last week with no earned runs over 13 innings of work. The Chesterfield, Va., native fanned a school-record 18 batters in a 5-0 win at N.C. Wesleyan, then struck out 12 Meredith batters in six innings in a 9-1 triumph.

Before picking up two more wins on Tuesday in Virginia Wesleyan’s first-ever sweep of regional rival and perennial national power Salisbury, the Clover Hill High graduate had started her collegiate career 3-0 with 39 strikeouts and only two walks over her first 18 innings.

Sophomore third baseman Royer, meanwhile, batted .769 (10-for-13) for the week, with three doubles, two triples, a homer and 13 runs batted in. The Lititz, Pa., native also walked once, didn’t strike out and posted a 1.538 slugging percentage.
