Erica Graham brought in the first run with an RBI single to left and Christina Martin brought in two more runs with a single to center moments later.

Eagles freshman pitcher Hannah Holovach was recently named the Region XIV Eastern Conference Pitcher of the Week after winning six straight games at the Murray State Softball Festival in Oklahoma.

Holovach, a freshman from Mansfield, picked up the award after picking up victories for the Eagles against Rose State, Carl Albert, Connors State, Eastern Oklahoma, Frank Phillips and Neosho during tournament play in Tishomingo, Oklahoma.

?It feels great to get this award, especially after all of the hard work we have put in as a team,? Holovach said.
