FRISCO, Texas — McNeese’s Kaylee Lopez and Central Arkansas’ Kayla Beaver are the Southland Conference Softball Hitter and Pitcher of the Week, respectively, the league announced Monday. Southland weekly honors are presented by Hercules Tires.

Lopez hit safely in all four games for McNeese (28-23, 16-8 SLC) this week, finishing 10-for 12 (.833) at the plate. The sophomore was a perfect 4-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday’s eight-inning win over Northwestern State.
