MC’s Christensen named
Performer of the Week Release Date:

 MONMOUTH, Ill. —
Monmouth College junior pitcher Sarah Christensen
(Galesburg, Ill./Galesburg) was nearly perfect in the circle last
week and picked up her first Midwest Conference Pitcher of the Week
honor in softball.
Christensen was 3-0 as a starter and came in from the bullpen to
earn a save last week as the Fighting Scots went 5-0 to run their
win streak to six games, the Scots’ longest streak since the 2001
season. At last Monday’s abbreviated Midwest Conference Classic in
Janesville, Wis., the junior right-hander threw a complete game
shutout in a 6-0 win over Lawrence. Against defending league
champion and north division favorite St. Norbert, Christensen hurled
five innings of two-hit ball in a 9-0 victory. Between the pair of
shutouts, the junior came on in relief to get the final out in the
Scots’ 7-6 win over Ripon. She then allowed just one run in
Monmouth’s 3-1 divisional win over Illinois College.
For the week, Christensen posted an ERA of 0.38 with 16
strikeouts and four walks.
