JACKSON- Fresh off a 4-0 weekend, Millsaps Major first baseman Megan Yglesias was named the Southern Athletic Association Player of the Week. 

The senior went 8 for 14 (.571) on the weekend with a couple of doubles and a home run. She also drove in eight runs and scored six, leading the Majors to a pair of wins over Webster and Centenary this past weekend. 

Defensively, Yglesias played a perfect first and second base over the four games. She made a diving catch at second and threw out a runner on a relay play from first base. 

On the season, Yglesias is fifth in the SAA in batting at .538, tops in home runs  (3), runs batted in (16) and slugging percentage (total bases/at-bats) at 1.038. 

The Majors, 6-3, travel to Birmingham to open up conference play this weekend. They take on the Panthers on Saturday and Sunday, with a double header scheduled for both days. First pitch is set for 12 and 2 for both days.
