ATLANTA, GA- Millsaps' senior shortstop Caroline Thompson has been named the Southern Athletic Association's offensive player of the week for her efforts against the University of Dallas.
The senior's award marks the third straight week that Millsaps has had a player of the week joining Blakeli Entremont and Rayne Gravat who have won the award this season.
In the 19-3 and 10-2 wins over Dallas, Thompson was an offensive force. The senior went four for five with five runs batted in, two runs scored and two steals in the weekend sweep as the Majors moved to 7-0.
She was also walked and hit by a pitch, putting her on base six times in seven at bats. In game one, the senior was 3-3 with five runs driven in and two runs scored. Each of Thompson's hits brought in at least one run. She also walked and was hit by a pitch in the two games, putting her on base in seven of her eight at-bats.
For the season, Thompson is batting an even .500 with a sizzling .593 on base percentage and is a perfect 5-5 in steals to lead the Majors.
Millsaps will open up conference play this weekend when they travel to Conway, Arkansas to take on the Hendrix Warriors in a four-game set. First pitch on Saturday's double header is set for noon.
