CHICAGO – Junior DePaul pitcher, Tracie Adix was awarded the BIG EAST Conference’s inaugural Pitcher of the Week honor as announced by the conference office today.
Adix (4-0) boasts a perfect 0.00 ERA and notched two wins last week at the GRU Florida Tournament in Gainesville, Florida. The junior allowed only a pair of hits in DePaul’s 3-0 win over Longwood and 1-0 win over Penn State.
"Tracie had a special weekend," head coach Eugene Lenti said. "She had total control and dominated just about every batter she faced. Tracie got ahead in the count and was able put the hitter away."
Adix threw 14.1 innings last week, giving up just one walk and six hits while posting 10 strikeouts. Her perfect earned run average in her 24.1 innings pitched this season has led the Blue Demons to a 7-2 start, the best start for the program since 2003.
The Blue Demons return to action March 9 taking on Oregon State at the Fresno State Tournament in Fresno, California. DePaul will also face host Fresno State, Washington, San Diego State, Ball State and Central Florida during the four-day tournament.
