OKLAHOMA CITY – Mid-America Christian University senior outfielder Tiphani Napier has been named the Sooner Athletic Conference Softball Player of the Week, the league announced today (Feb. 20).
Napier was on fire at the plate this past weekend, tying her own single-game record with seven RBIs in a 20-1 victory over Central Christian College.
Her seven RBIs included a two-run homer and bases-clearing double that fueled a 15-run third inning, the highest scoring inning for the Evangels as an NAIA program.
Napier then went 2-of-3 and drove in one run in a 7-1 win in the nightcap over CCC.
The Ardmore, Okla. native is first in the Sooner Athletic Conference in RBIs per game (2.25) and second in batting average (.636), slugging percentage (1.091) and on-base-percentage (.688).
Napier and the Softball Evangels are 2-2 on the season and will next host Tabor College tomorrow afternoon (Feb. 21) at 1 pm at Jack Allen Field.
