Trainor, a senior third baseman from Winona, Minn., batted .565 (13-for-23) last week for the 12th-ranked (35-5) Tommies. The Cotter High product scored five runs and had a walk, two doubles, three homers and 14 RBI in a 6-0 week that helped secure the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference regular-season title and No. 1 seed for the conference tournament. She has an 11-game hit streak and compiled an 1.043 slugging percentage for the week.

Senior right-hander McLendon, meanwhile, beat No. 1 Texas-Tyler twice in a 3-0 week that propelled the (34-8) Tigers to the American Southwest Conference (ASC) Tournament championship and moved them up nine places in the rankings to No. 8, while dropping the Patriots out of the top spot and ending their 33-game win streak. The Livingston (Texas) High graduate had two complete games among her three starts, allowing seven walks and striking out nine to earn ASC Tournament Most Valuable Player honors.
