OKLAHOMA CITY – For the second straight week, a Mid-America Christian University senior outfielder has been named the Sooner Athletic Conference Softball Player of the Week. This time, its Taryn Callender who receives the award, as announced by the league today (Feb. 27). Tiphani Napier earned the honor last week for MACU. 

Callender batted .571 in the Softball Evangels' four games this past week, including a triple, four doubles and seven RBIs.

The Ardmore, Okla. native's week was highlighted by producing four hits in seven at-bats, with two doubles and five RBIs in a sweep of Southwestern (Kan.) last Thursday (Feb. 23).

She followed that up by again going four-of-seven in two games against Tabor College on Saturday (Feb. 25), including two more doubles, a triple, three runs scored and a pair of RBIs.  

Callender and the Evangels are next in action tomorrow afternoon (Feb. 28) at Oklahoma Wesleyan University, starting at 1 pm in Bartlesville, Okla.
