Box Score 1 | Box Score 2

ROCK HILL, S.C. - Anderson's Jessica Neidigh was tabbed the AstroTurf South Atlantic Conference Softball Player of the Week, while teammate Chelsea Jones was named the AstroTurf South Atlantic Conference Softball Pitcher of the Week, as announced by the conference office Tuesday morning.

Neidigh was 8-for-15 (.533) at the plate last week to help lead the Trojans to a perfect 4-0 record with sweeps of archrival Erskine and Lenoir-Rhyne in the conference opener for both the Trojans and Bears. The second baseman posted a 1.400 slugging percentage after posting three home runs, two doubles, a run-scoring triple and a pair of singles on the week. She scored five times and drove in seven runs.

Neidigh currently leads the league in runs scored (29) and is second in hits (34), triples (2), home runs (7), total bases (65) and stolen bases (10), while ranking sixth in the league with a .425 batting average and a .500 on-base percentage. The Trojans lead-off hitter is a perfect 10-of-10 in stolen bases on the season.

Jones earned a pair of wins and a save in the circle, while striking out nine batters and did not issue a walk. The right-hander scattered 12 hits over 15 1/3 innings and allowing just two earned runs in three appearances. Her ERA was just 0.91 on the week and tossed her first shutout of the season in a 6-0 win over Erskine.

Jones ranks third in the league with a 1.34 ERA and leads the conference with three saves. Offensively, Jones posted a .600 on-base percentage while drawing a team-high seven walks in the four games. She added a pair of singles and drove in a run while scoring three times.
