FORT WORTH, Texas – Texas Wesleyan senior outfielder Monica Barrilleaux was honored by the Red River Athletic Conference on Tuesday as both the Pitcher of the Week and the Co-Player of the Week for March 24-30. It is her first award as a pitcher and second as a player. She was also named Player of the Week on March 11, the first time the award was given this season.

Barrilleaux, a Duncanville native, led Wesleyan to three wins in four games this week, batting .692 with two doubles, two home runs, and five RBI. She went 5-6 with a double and a homer in the Lady Rams’ doubleheader sweep against LeTourneau University (TX) on March 26, then batted 4-7 with another homer and two more RBI as Wesleyan split a conference doubleheader against Bacone on March 28.

She also collected two wins in two starts on the week, throwing a complete game two-hitter to defeat LeTourneau 9-1, then pitching eight strong innings to defeat Bacone 5-4. She walked one on the week while striking out eight, and did not allow an earned run in either of her starts.
