Oregon’s Katie Flannery and Texas’ Tegan Kavan captured the Division I Louisville Slugger/NFCA Player and Wilson/NFCA Pitcher of the Week honors for contests played March 10-16. It marked the second nod this season for Kavan.

Player of the Week – Katie Flannery (Oregon)

Flannery keyed the eighth-ranked Ducks to a Big Ten series win over Washington and a 3-1 week. Overall, she hit .692 with a double, triple, four home runs, 12 RBI, nine runs scored and a 1.846 slugging percentage. Flannery homered twice and drove in five runs in Oregon’s 9-0 series-opening win. The sophomore third baseman left the yard again and registered three more RBI in a game-two win. Flannery was also a double short of the cycle in a win over Abilene Christian in which she launched a three-run homer and scored twice in a school-record 15-run first inning.

Pitcher of the Week – Tegan Kavan (Texas)

Kavan posted a 3-0 mark with a 0.93 ERA, 19 strikeouts and five walks over the course of three appearances last week. She picked up both wins in a doubleheader sweep at then-No. 3 Florida on March 15. In 8.2 innings of work, Kavan surrendered just one earned run and one extra-base hit against the Gators’ top-ranked scoring offense. She went 4.2 innings in a game-one start, allowing two runs, one earned, on six hits with five punchouts and two walks. Kavan added four innings of relief in game two (4 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 3 K, 0 BB). In her other start of the week, the junior struck out 11 and allowed two runs, one earned, on four hits in 6.1 innings at new-No. 25 Ohio State.
