Keagan Rothrock and Jocelyn Erickson were named Freshman of the Week and Player of the Week, respectively, by the SEC Monday.
Rothrock (3-1) earned the accolade for the first time after throwing two complete games with only one earned run. In her two starts against Jacksonville and Georgia Southern, she finished the week with 17 strikeouts, three walks and five hits through 12 innings pitched.
Her team-leading 31 strikeouts are the most by SEC freshmen pitchers, as well.
The Gators earned back-to-back SEC Freshman of the Week awards after Olivia Miller‘s perfect outing resulted in the honor last week.
Sophomore Erickson had a breakout week of her own. Getting hot at the plate, Erickson went 8-12 with 13 RBI as she hit in the cleanup spot. She totaled eight RBI on Friday alone along with her first home run of the season.
This is also Erickson’s first time earning the accolade along with the Gators’ first one this season.
