BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - Junior tri-captain Hayley Wiemer, Sylvania, Ohio native, was named Mid-American Conference East division Pitcher of the Week announced by the conference office this afternoon (April 8), after recording three wins in three starts this weekend.

In the shut out against the Cardinals, Wiemer allowed only one batter to reach first base in the first three innings on a base-on-balls, with no runner getting past second base the entire game.
Wiemer not only dominated from the mound but also helped her team out from the plate as she hit .500 in the 8-3 win over the RedHawks including one RBI. In the shut out over the Cardinals Wiemer led the Falcon sticks with a .667 batting average and a 1.000 slugging percentage, including a double and two RBIs.
