AUSTIN, Texas – The University of Texas picked up a Big 12 Conference weekly softball award for a program-record fourth consecutive week as freshman right-handed pitcher Teagan Kavan was selected as the Big 12 Pitcher of the Week, the league announced Tuesday afternoon.
Kavan, a West Des Moines, Iowa native, contributed 10.0 of Texas' 29.0 scoreless innings pitched during five victories throughout last week. Her .121 opponent batting average was the lowest by any Big 12 pitcher who faced 30-or-more batters throughout the week. She also finished the week with 13 strikeouts throughout two appearances, which were the most by any Big 12 pitcher who made two-or-fewer appearances in the circle on the week.
