LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Trine University's Emma Lee received national recognition from the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) for her performance last week. She has been named this week's Louisville Slugger/NFCA Player of the Week.

This is the second time in the senior's career that she has earned the national award, making her the first Thunder softballer to take home the honor multiple times. It is the fifth time that a Trine student-athlete has earned either the pitcher or position player of the week award from the NFCA.

The Cottage Grove, Wis. native was a menace at the plate in the team's doubleheader against Adrian College. She finished the afternoon going 7-for-7 with seven RBIs. That gave her a massive 2.143 slugging percentage against the Bulldogs, highest among either team. She also added a stolen base and finished with a perfect fielding percentage.

After a tight start against Adrian in game one, the Thunder pulled away before the game ended early in the sixth inning with a 15-5 victory. Lee finished the game 3-for-3 with on RBI, that gave the team the lead in the third inning. Game two saw Trine score 17 runs in the first inning and cruise to a 28-4 win in five innings. Lee had a grand slam in the first inning before adding a double and a solo homer in the second and third innings.

Trine is set to travel to face Hope College for their next doubleheader. Those games are set to start at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 11.
