ROCK HILL, S.C. - Anderson sophomore second baseman Jessica Neidigh has been named the South Atlantic Conference softball Player of the Week, as announced by the conference office Tuesday afternoon.

The Lawrenceville, Ga., native was a perfect 9-for-9 in the weekend doubleheader at Lincoln Memorial and hit .731 on the week (19-of-26), with three doubles, a triple and a home run and scored nine runs, while driving in six runs from her leadoff spot. She posted a slugging percentage of 1.038.

"Jessica is very deserving of the honor," said Anderson head coach Tommy Hewitt. "She's tough all the time but when she puts her mind to it, there aren't many players any better."

She started all six games as the Trojans garnered three wins on the week and improved to 30-8 on the season. In addition to her perfect performance at the plate versus the Lady Railsplitters, Neidigh was 4-for-8 with a home run and a double versus Wingate and was 6-for-9 with two RBI and four runs scored in the sweep of Conference Carolinas' member North Greenville.

Neidigh leads the league in batting average, hits and runs scored and ranks second in doubles, triples, total bases, on-base percentage and slugging percentage. The 5-foot-8 second baseman is also a perfect 16-of-16 in stolen bases on the season.
