ST. LOUIS – Illinois State softball's Regan Romshek has been named Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week as announced by the conference Monday afternoon. The award is ISU's first Player of the Week award this season.
Romshek got off to a hot start this past weekend with a 4-4 game against North Texas Friday night, and her bat stayed consistent throughout the trip to Arizona. Romshek hit .600 this week with nine hits. Six of her hits were for extra bases with four doubles and two home runs. Romshek scored a team-high six runs this week while driving in three runs. She also recorded an on-base percentage of .647 and slugged 1.267 percent.
The junior from Gibson City, Illinois, has been the Redbirds' ace in the circle, but her bat has proven to be just as valuable this young season.
Romshek and the Redbirds will be in action again this weekend with five games in Gainesville, Florida. The weekend kicks off with a 8 a.m. CT first pitch against Mercer.
