TEXANNS IN THE NATIONAL RANKINGS
The TexAnns have moved up two spots in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association to No. 18 in the latest rankings. It's the third straight week for Tarleton in the poll after debuting at No. 25 last week. Tarleton is one of only four 34-win teams in the NFCA rankings. The other three 30-win teams occupy the top three spots – Colorado Mesa (1), North Georgia (2), and Chico State (3).
 
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
For the second straight week, third time in four weeks, and fourth time this season, Jordan Withrow has been named the top pitcher in the Lone Star Conference after her efforts against No. 4 Angelo State last weekend. She started and completed both games that Tarleton won over ASU last weekend, throwing 14.0 innings and holding the Rambelles to a .174 batting average. She boasted an ERA of 1.50 while allowing just three earned runs in those two starts. She also continued to add to her LSC-leading strikeout totals with 11 more for the weekend.
