LAFAYETTE - Outfielder Karly Heath and right-handed pitcher Summer Ellyson, both of members of the 13th-ranked Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball team, were the recipients of the Louisiana Sports Writers Association softball player awards for April 12-18, the LSWA announced.
Heath was named the LSWA Hitter of the Week, and Ellyson was chosen Pitcher of the Week.
The awards are based on nominations and voting by the state's college softball publicists, who are not permitted to vote for their own players. Athletes from four- and two-year colleges are eligible for the awards.
