GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Duke first baseman Rachel Crabtree has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Softball Player of the Week, while Florida State’s Kathryn Sandercock is a repeat selection as ACC Pitcher of the Week.
The ACC softball weekly awards are voted on by a panel from both the schools and the conference office.
Crabtree hit .615 (8-for-13) in a 5-1 week for the Blue Devils with two home runs, a double and five RBI. The grad student from Huntington Beach, California, became the first player in program history to reach 100 RBI during Duke’s win over Army on Feb. 25. She also had three hits in the first of the Blue Devils’ two games versus No. 19 Michigan and had a perfect fielding percentage for the week.
In addition, Crabtree reached another career season high with her fourth home run in a win over Northern Kentucky. She reached safely in all six Duke games.
Sandercock appeared in four games during an unbeaten week for the Seminoles, picking up three wins and earning a save. Sandercock earned the win and the save as Florida State defeated Indiana twice, and she was also the pitcher of decision in wins over Florida A&M and Hofstra.
For the week, the McLean, Virginia, native did not allow an earned run while limiting opponents to an .083 batting average.
