Bowling Green, KY – After another impactful week at the plate, Grace Ross has been named Mid-South Conference Player of the Week for the third consecutive week, conference officials announced Monday afternoon. 

Ross totaled 13 RBIs across six games, recording three home runs and four extra-base hits during the stretch. She compiled 14 total bases and posted a .875 slugging percentage while delivering multiple clutch performances against nationally competitive opponents. 

The graduate student transfer highlighted the week with a grand slam in a late rally against Thomas University before adding a two-run homer in an 8-1 victory over RV College of Coastal Georgia. She capped the NFCA Leadoff Classic with another three-run shot against Faulkner, driving in all three Patriot runs in a tightly contested matchup. For her performance in Columbus, Ross was also named to the NFCA Leadoff Classic All-Tournament Team.
