DeKALB — Senior infielder Sam Schmidt was named Mid-American Conference Player of the Week Tuesday.
Schmidt batted .563 during the Huskies 4-1 week that included wins over Central Michigan and Loyola Chicago.
She picked up nine hits, including six for extra bases, while driving in nine runs to lead her team.
Schmidt is the third Huskie this year to earn the MAC's weekly honor. Alex Frenz earned the MAC co-Pitcher of the Week award following her performance in the Husky Classic, while Katie Keller earned MAC Player of the Week honor during NIU’s spring break contests.
