Freshman of the Week: Taylor Turner, Columbus State

Turner was nearly unhittable for Columbus State as she went 2-0 in three appearances including a crucial victory over Francis Marion to cap off the week. Turner began the week by throwing her first career no-hitter versus West Georgia as two walks kept her from tossing a perfect game. In a must-win game, she limited FMU to one run on six hits in the complete game win. A pair of base hits in the seventh brought the potential game-winning run to the plate but Turner came up clutch and registered her only strikeout of the game to end the contest. She also tossed three shutout innings in relief versus UNC Pembroke. and hit .250 in 16 at-bats.
