College Sports Madness identifies the players who have made the greatest impact to their team from each conference and on a national basis each week.

The Grayson, Ga., native threw a complete game shutout against Alabama State, tossing a career-high 14 strikeouts and only allowing one hit in Troy's 7-0 victory. Her previous career-high was five strikeouts that she set in 2016 against ULM.
