Oklahoma softball: Mariah Lopez named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week

The junior right-hander recorded a pair of one-hit shutouts as Oklahoma posted 6-0 and 13-0 victories over Syracuse and Charlotte, respectively, with Lopez going the distance in both games. She had pitched just one shutout in her previous two seasons at OU.

Lopez was one of two Big 12 pitchers in the Big 12 to record two complete games on opening weekend, but she was the only won who was credited with two wins.

Lopez pitched the Sooners to two of their five season-opening wins at the Grand Canyon University Kickoff Tournament in Phoenix, Arizona, this past weekend.
