FRISCO, Texas - Nicholls State University senior Claire Sisco has been named Jersey Mike's Southland Softball Hitter of the Week, the conference office announced Monday. 

Sisco was a tough out in the Colonels' series win at Northwestern State, batting .714 while reaching base in 10 of her 12 plate appearances (.833 OB%). She started the series by going 3-for-4 with a triple in the 6-0 victory. Sisco then posted another multi-hit game in the finale with a double and an RBI. 

For the weekend, Sisco added four runs scored, three walks and two hit-by-pitches. The Colonel leadoff hitter also tacked on two steals to bring her league-leading total to 28.

Sisco is the third Colonel to win a weekly award this season, joined by Reagan Heflin and two-time honoree Molly Yoo.
