Utah State softball's Brina Buttacavoli was named the Mountain West Player of the Week for the week ending Sunday, Feb. 25.
This is the first Mountain West weekly award of Buttacavoli's career and the first awarded to a Utah State player this season.
Playing as both catcher and designated player, Buttacavoli led Utah State to a 4-1 record last weekend in a tournament hosted by Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, as the Aggies defeated Omaha (5-3) and swept the host Islanders (8-5, 15-0 [5]), while splitting two games against Texas Southern (W 7-0, L 9-8). Against Omaha, she was 3-for-4 at the plate, scoring one run and adding four defensive putouts.
