Louisiana Tech junior Katie Smith was named the Conference USA Player of the Week following her performance in the Lady Techsters three-game sweep over North Texas this past weekend in Ruston.
Smith batted .833 on the weekend with a .750 on-base percentage. The Bossier City native notched two doubles and scored two runs while recording three RBI and slugging at a 1.167 clip. Her effort helped Tech clinch the West Division title for the first time in program history.
She also laid down a sacrifice bunt and recorded her fourth sacrifice fly of the year (tied for second among league leaders).
